SMMKit vs a JAP child panel
Own your store vs renting a subdomain from an upstream provider.
Summary
Many SMM resellers start with a child panel — JAP and other upstream providers offer a $10/month white-label panel on a subdomain of their choosing. It's the fastest way to start selling. It's also the worst place to scale. You don't own the domain, the design, the customer list, or the payment processor. The day you want to move, you start from zero.

Our take
A child panel is fine as a weekend experiment to see if you like this business. The moment you earn your first €1000, move to your own store with SMMKit — every additional day on a child panel is authority you will never get back.
