Yeah, quoting Titus:

"More generally, there are many projects that seek to make deployment 
and execution of Jupyter Notebooks straightforward. This includes 
JupyterHub, everware, thebe, Wakari, SageMathCloud, and Google Drive. 
Apart from everware (which has significant overlap with mybinder in 
design) these other platforms are primarily designed around delivery of 
notebooks and collaboration within them, and do not provide the 
author-specified customization of the compute environment provided by 
mybinder via Docker containers."

Binder lets you specify your own Dockerfile which builds of Binder's 
base image.
