$6/month (entry-level Droplet: 1 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 25 GB SSD NVMe) (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) ·

description:
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) ·
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) ·
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)
usage notes:
None (1) ·
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)
