Headless Architecture Comparison

Speed beats Assembly.

Medusa is a powerful framework, but Litekart is a production-ready platform. Stop spending months building what Litekart delivers in minutes.

Batteries Included

Litekart includes the high-performance frontend, AI search, and marketplace logic natively. No manual assembly required.

SvelteKit First

Optimized for the fastest JS framework. Litekart delivers sub-100ms response times while others struggle with Next.js hydration.

Marketplace Ready

Manage vendors, payouts, and multi-store settings from day one. Litekart is a marketplace platform, not just a store.

Launch in Days,
not Months

In the headless world, "Modular" often means "Manual." Litekart gives you the same freedom but with 10x higher velocity by including core features natively.

Developer FAQ

Technical answers for modern architects.

Is Litekart as flexible as Medusa?

Yes. Litekart is 100% Headless. You have full access to our APIs and can build any frontend experience. The difference is that we *also* give you a world-class SvelteKit storefront to start with.

What about Agentic Commerce?

Medusa focus is on agent-assisted development. Litekart focus is on agent-ready business. Our whole platform is designed to be easily parsed and acted upon by AI buying agents.

Can I self-host Litekart?

Yes. We offer an On-Premise / White Label solution for enterprises that want absolute control over their infrastructure, similar to Medusa's self-hosted core.

Why SvelteKit over Next.js?

Performance. SvelteKit provides a significantly smaller bundle size and faster hydration times, which is critical for mobile ecommerce conversion.
