Most teams underestimate compliance hooks, payout audit trails, and admin UX. A cheap script gets you a landing page; it rarely gets you an ops team that can sleep at night.
Three tiers of build
- Template + skin: fastest time-to-demo, least flexibility.
- Script + custom modules: balanced if your roadmap is narrow.
- Platform fork: higher upfront, lower regret when regulation shifts.
TradifyLabs skews toward the second and third: Laravel-first backends, Vue dashboards, and deployment paths that don’t assume a single shared database for every tenant.
