# Overview

SaaS Mergin Maps service is a web platform for storage and synchronisation of data between mobile devices, Mergin Maps service and QGIS Desktop.

There is also Mergin Maps Community Edition (Mergin Maps CE) that is licensed as open source software. The source code for Mergin Maps CE can be modified and used for custom deployments. You can contribute your code to MerginMaps/server (opens new window).

Mergin Maps Enterprise Edition (Mergin Maps EE) provides an enterprise environment with additional features such as multiple workspaces. There are three types of Mergin Maps EE:

  • Cloud that uses app.merginmaps.com (the same server as is used by other Mergin Maps users) and includes webmaps
  • Private-Cloud where Mergin Maps is run on a different server hosted by us (includes webmaps)
  • On-Premises is a self-hosting option where you host your own server (does not include webmaps).

This section of documentation is relevant for the On-Premises Mergin Maps EE and Mergin Maps CE.
