"I used to be a MAMP Pro user, but it wasn't very convenient, and the MAMP team iterated too slowly, often failing to meet my needs. I switched to ServBay. ServBay's PHP is comprehensive; no matter which version I want to use, I can switch with just a click."
"The PHP versions in integrated environments are often limited, and multiple installed PHP versions can interfere with each other. However, with ServBay, I can switch to whichever PHP version I want; I can run as many as I want, and it's fantastic."
"Thank you so much, hope to keep using ServBay! This is an amazing tool compared to MAMP!"
"Awesome! I really love this software, and it consumes significantly less resources than MAMP (the main competitor on macOS). Once you fine-tune some of the detailed aspects of user experience, you will have an absolutely outstanding product. Thank you again for all the support during my adaptation process. After using MAMP for 7 years, I am getting used to the new environment, haha."
