Pay with a card, PayPal, bank transfer, cash mailed in an envelope, or cryptocurrency (incl. Monero). · Free -- zero extra cost if you already run Nextcloud (e.g. for Office Suite). If not, standing up Nextcloud itself is also a free self-hosted install (see that entry for full pricing/hosting details). · Free (40-min cap on group calls, 100 participants); Pro from $14.16/user/mo (annual) / $16.99 (monthly), removes the time cap · 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. · 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. · 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.

None (7) · 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) · 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) · 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)

None · 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. · 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. · Explore active campaigns from the Campaigns tab. Mobile apps available on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). · 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. · 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. · Registration: no nonprofit status or business registration required -- sign up and start collecting tips/memberships as an individual or org account. · Registration: no nonprofit status or business registration required to sign up. · 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. · See the repo README for local setup and deployment instructions. · Syncs with any CalDAV-compatible client (Thunderbird, most phone calendar apps) so people aren't locked into a web UI. · 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. · Use Board view for kanban-style tracking across teams. Guest access is available on paid plans for external collaborators. · 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. · Other

None (8) · 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) · 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) · 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)
