Hello,

Cheers.

I wouldn’t invest in it unless you got a vps or you are self hosting. It is 100/month, 1200/per year. Unless you have over 1-5K people, use something like flarum.

Discourse is free @benjennings76 you just gotta set it up :slight_smile:

It is free for open sourced projects.

I think your mistaken. It is, but even Discourse itself is free and open source

Plus: Flarum is in beta!

And, has a bunch o features Discourse does have that flarum doesn’t

@chessebuilderman You can always download the code and host somewhere. Discourse offers hosting but you don’t need them. Hope that wasn’t confusing…

@benjennings76 Discourse is open source, and you can host it on your own machine. They have plans where they can host it, for money.

Discourse also has a free hosting service for crowdfunded (Funded on patreon etc) or open source projects. Visit https://free.discourse.group for that,

Normal Discourse: https://discourse.org
