If not, standing up Nextcloud itself is also a free self-hosted install (see that
entry for full pricing/hosting details). (1) ·
Free (40-min cap on group calls, 100 participants); Pro from
$14.16/user/mo (annual) / $16.99 (monthly), removes the time cap (1) ·
Free account, no monthly fee on the entry (Standard) tier; pay-as-you-go
per-transaction (roughly 1% with a per-payment cap -- verify current rates). US ACH is
capped at $5,000 per transaction; $5 per chargeback above 15 in a month. (1) ·
Free and open source (Apache 2.0). Self-host at only your hosting cost, use the free
public meet.jit.si instance, or buy 8x8's managed Jitsi as a Service (JaaS) for scale/branding. (1) ·
Free and open source. Run by the non-profit Tor Project, funded by grants (historically
including US-government sources such as the State Department and NRL) plus individual donations.

Free events are always free. Paid tickets: ~3.7%+$1.79/ticket plus 2.9% payment
processing, no fee cap. Pro email tiers $15-100/mo (nonprofits get 50% off after
verification). (1) ·
Free on the public instance (meet.jit.si) or self-hosted at no
licensing cost (Apache 2.0); managed hosting via 8x8 JaaS from $0.35/monthly
active user, or $99+/mo (1) ·
Free tier covers unlimited passwords/devices for individuals; Teams $4/user/mo,
Enterprise $6/user/mo (open-source server, self-hosting available) (1) ·
Free tier hosts up to 50 participants for 1 hour per call; guests join by link with no
account. Paid Meet Professional raises this to 100 participants and 24-hour calls with recording;
higher Workspace tiers reach 250. Often bundled with the rest of the Proton suite. (1) ·
Free, no ads, no paid tiers. Run by the Signal Foundation, a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit
funded by grants and donations; by charter it cannot be acquired. (1) ·
Genuinely free tier (unlimited data, no ads, one device, 5 countries). Paid plans add
more countries, up to 10 devices, and streaming/P2P; often bundled with Proton Mail/Drive/Pass. (1) ·
No platform fee -- 100% of funds raised go to the cause, minus standard payment
processing (1) ·
paid plans from $5/mo (1) ·
Platform fee 8-12% of earnings by tier (Lite/Pro/Premium), plus roughly 2.9-5%

roughly $10-100/mo depending on tier (1) ·

None (14) ·
'''Not recommended.''' Cloud video conferencing with breakout rooms,
webinars, and cloud recording. Included here for comparison against
[[Proton Meet]] and [[Jitsi Meet]], the alternatives we do recommend. (1) ·
'''Not recommended.''' Cloud-based team messaging platform with channels,
threads, and integrations. Free tier limits message history to 90 days and caps
integrations at 10. Included here for comparison against [[Mattermost]] and
[[Rocket.Chat]], the two self-hosted alternatives we do recommend. (1) ·
'''Not recommended.''' Docs, Sheets, Slides, Gmail, and Drive with real-time
collaboration and 30GB-5TB of pooled cloud storage depending on tier. Included here for
comparison against [[OnlyOffice]] and [[Nextcloud]], the two self-hosted alternatives we
do recommend. (1) ·
Cloud VPS provider offering Linux virtual machines (Droplets)
suitable for self-hosting applications. Straightforward pricing, solid
documentation, and a large library of community tutorials make it a common
choice for technically capable teams standing up their own infrastructure. (1) ·
Cloud-based project and task management platform for assigning tasks,
tracking progress, and coordinating team workflows. (1) ·
Doikayt's own self-hosted MediaWiki stack: Docker Compose
infrastructure plus a markdown-to-wikitext content pipeline for authoring
and deploying wiki pages (this wiki is built with it). (1) ·
End-to-end encrypted 1:1 and group messaging, plus voice/video calls, built on
the audited Signal Protocol (Double Ratchet + X3DH). ~40M monthly users. Registration
requires a phone number; usernames (added 2024) let you start chats without sharing it. (1) ·
End-to-end encrypted chat on the Matrix open standard. Anyone can run a homeserver
and servers federate like email; Element is the reference client. 115M+ addressable accounts,
with bridges to Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp and others. (1) ·
End-to-end encrypted video meetings from Proton, built on the open
MLS (Messaging Layer Security) protocol. Swiss-based and subscription-funded,
positioned as a privacy-respecting drop-in replacement for Zoom. (1) ·
Event listing, promotion, and ticketing -- event pages, RSVP/ticket
sales, and email promotion to an audience list. Free to publish and manage free
events with no platform fee; fees only apply to paid ticket sales. (1) ·
Free tip-jar platform with the lowest baseline fees of the group -- 0% on
simple one-time tips -- plus optional shop/membership features. No nonprofit registration or
business entity is required to sign up. (1) ·
Low-friction tip jar and membership platform for one-off support or recurring
monthly patronage. No nonprofit registration or business entity is required to sign up. (1) ·
MIT-licensed, self-hostable team chat with channels, voice/video, and broad
integration support. Its omnichannel inbox unifies live chat, email, WhatsApp, and
Telegram into one agent queue -- useful if you also want to replace a separate
customer-support tool, not just internal chat. (1) ·
Nonprofit-oriented crowdfunding platform charging no platform fee, explicitly
open to individuals, social enterprises, and unregistered community groups, not just
registered charities. Scale (per Chuffed's own reporting): 50,000+ organizers, 2.5M+
supporters, $275M+ raised to date. (1) ·
Nonprofit, volunteer-run wiki hosting platform that provides
free MediaWiki instances with a wide range of pre-installed extensions. (1) ·
Open-source CRM purpose-built for nonprofits and advocacy groups -- donor
tracking, campaign management, event registration, and membership -- rather than a
generic sales CRM repurposed for fundraising. Integrates as a plugin into WordPress,
Drupal, or Joomla. (1) ·
Open-source password manager: unlimited passwords and devices on the free
tier, cross-platform sync, autofill. Officially self-hostable, and the community-run
Vaultwarden server is a lightweight alternative implementation for orgs that want to
run it themselves. (1) ·
Open-source video conferencing usable instantly with no account
via the free public instance, or self-hosted for full control over data and
infrastructure. (1) ·
Privacy-first WireGuard/OpenVPN provider run from Sweden. No email or personal
details at signup -- you get a random account number instead of a username/password. Owned by
Mullvad VPN AB (also behind the Mullvad Browser, built with the Tor Project). (1) ·
Privacy-focused WireGuard/OpenVPN provider operating from Gibraltar under IVPN
Limited since 2009. All client apps are open source under GPLv3. Signup requires no personal
information -- just the generated account ID. (1) ·
Self-hostable double-entry accounting: invoicing, online payments, expense tracking,
multi-currency, unlimited bank/cash accounts. The free self-hosted tier is limited to one
user and one accountant -- fine for a single bookkeeper, not for a team that needs
shared access. (1) ·
Self-hostable, MIT-licensed team chat closely modeled on Slack's channel-based
UX -- includes a Slack export/import path to ease migration. Free self-hosted tier
runs indefinitely with no per-seat licensing cost; paid tiers add SSO, compliance
exports, and HIPAA/FedRAMP-aligned deployment options. (1) ·
Subscription-based membership platform for ongoing monthly support -- better
suited to sustained operational funding than one-off campaigns. No nonprofit registration or
business entity is required to sign up; the org registers and operates like an individual
creator account. (1) ·
WireGuard/OpenVPN provider from Geneva, operated by Proton AG and majority-owned by
the non-profit Proton Foundation. Founded by scientists who met at CERN; same organisation as
Proton Mail. Every client app (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) is open source. (1) ·
Zero-fee fundraising, ticketing, and membership platform for nonprofits. Scale
(per Zeffy's own reporting): 100,000+ nonprofits, $2B+ raised to date. (1)
None (26) ·
Choose the region closest to your primary users to minimize
latency. Enable automatic backups ($1.20/month at the entry tier) from the
start — restoring from a snapshot is far easier than rebuilding from scratch. (1) ·
Even the self-hosted install requires an API key that calls home to
Akaunting's servers to validate your license tier -- worth knowing if full data
sovereignty (no external dependency at all) is a hard requirement, since this isn't
quite that despite being open source. (1) ·
Explore active campaigns from the Campaigns tab. Mobile apps available on
iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). (1) ·
Fewer native integrations than Slack out of the box -- most third-party
connections go through incoming/outgoing webhooks rather than a marketplace, so budget
some setup time. Good fit for teams that want a near drop-in Slack replacement and
value Go-based, ops-friendly self-hosting. (1) ·
Has the most GitHub momentum of the self-hosted Slack alternatives
(~45k stars). The free Community edition covers most day-to-day needs; exceeding
Starter-plan limits blocks adding new users but does not lock you out of existing
data. (1) ·
Registration: no nonprofit status or business registration required -- sign up
and start collecting tips/memberships as an individual or org account. (1) ·
Registration: no nonprofit status or business registration required to sign up. (1) ·
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Miraheze for an overview of
available extensions and account setup. No cost, donation-supported;
account required to create a new wiki. (1) ·
See the repo README for local setup and deployment
instructions. (1) ·
Syncs with any CalDAV-compatible client (Thunderbird, most phone calendar
apps) so people aren't locked into a web UI. (1) ·
The free plan supports up to 20 email alert recipients — sufficient
for most small organizations. Webhook triggers allow integration with custom
scripts or chat tools on status changes. (1) ·
Use Board view for kanban-style tracking across teams.
Guest access is available on paid plans for external collaborators. (1) ·
Zero-access encryption means Proton cannot read message content or hand
it over even under legal request -- worth flagging for teams handling sensitive
organizing communications. No self-hosting option; mail is hosted on Proton's own
infrastructure in Switzerland. (1)
None (30) ·
Commercial Israeli-owned VPNs (Kape's ExpressVPN / CyberGhost / PIA /
ZenMate, Hola, Hotspot Shield) reintroduce exactly the operator you're trying to remove -- see
[[:Category:VPN]]. (1) ·
Custodial crypto processors like Coinbase Commerce and BitPay: they
take crypto but hold funds and impose KYC, reintroducing exactly the operator-freeze risk
that self-custody removes. If the goal is deplatform resistance, a custodial crypto gateway
gives up the main advantage. (1) ·
ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, PIA, and ZenMate are all owned by the
British-Israeli Kape Technologies (now a delisted black box); Hola VPN is Israeli and resold
user bandwidth. See [[:Category:VPN]] for the full ownership picture. (1) ·
For deplatform resistance, see [[BTCPay Server]] (the
only self-hostable option). The broader case against card gateways is covered on the
Finance&Accounting category page. (1) ·
Israeli-owned options (Kape's ExpressVPN / CyberGhost / PIA / ZenMate,
Hola VPN, Hotspot Shield via Pango) are rejected on ownership grounds -- see [[:Category:VPN]]. (1) ·
Kape's ExpressVPN / CyberGhost / PIA / ZenMate, Hola VPN, and Hotspot
Shield / Betternet are rejected on ownership grounds -- see [[:Category:VPN]]. (1) ·
Relying on the public matrix.org homeserver reintroduces an
operator/jurisdiction -- self-host to get the benefit. Discord and Slack are centralized and
not end-to-end encrypted. (1) ·
WhatsApp (uses the Signal protocol but is Meta-owned and harvests
metadata) and Telegram (chats are not end-to-end encrypted by default, weaker crypto). (1) ·
Zoom and Google Meet are closed-source and not end-to-end encrypted by
default, with the provider able to access call data. For a fully self-hosted option, Jitsi Meet
on your own server keeps infrastructure in your hands (see [[:Category:Self Hosting]]). (1)
