Frequently Asked Questions
Is the open-source version really free?
Yes, completely free. The source code is MIT licensed, meaning you can use it commercially, modify it, and even resell it without paying us anything. No hidden costs, no usage limits.
What’s the difference between self-hosted and managed cloud?
Functionality is identical. Managed Cloud saves you infrastructure work—we handle servers, updates, backups, monitoring, and scaling. Self-hosted gives you full control but requires your team to manage operations.
Can I start with open source and upgrade later?
Absolutely. Many customers start self-hosted and migrate to Managed Cloud as they grow. We provide migration assistance to make the transition smooth.
How do you make money if the core is free?
The classic open-source model: we provide the software for free and charge for convenience (managed hosting) and expertise (enterprise support). About 80-90% of users self-host for free, while 10-20% pay for managed services—and that’s perfectly fine with us.
When will pricing be finalized?
Beta pricing will be announced in Q1 2025 when Managed Cloud launches. Early beta participants will receive discounted lifetime pricing as a thank you for helping us improve the product.
