Is Open Intranet really free?

Yes. The software itself is free and open source under the GPL license. You can download, install, and use it without any licensing fees. Professional services like installation, customization, hosting, and support are available as paid services from Droptica.

Are there per-user fees?

No. Open Intranet has no per-user licensing fees — ever. Whether you have 100 or 10,000 users, the software cost is the same: zero. You only pay for professional services you choose to use.

How is implementation priced?

You pick how you want to run Open Intranet (self-install, on-premise with our help, or fully hosted by us), then add only the services you actually need: custom design, SSO setup, integrations, data migration, AI features, training and so on. Every option has a fixed price, so the total is fully transparent before you talk to sales.

Can I host Open Intranet on my own servers?

Yes. Open Intranet can be deployed on-premise or on any cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP). You have full control over where your data resides, which is essential for GDPR compliance and data sovereignty.

What ongoing costs should I expect?

After implementation, ongoing costs include hosting (your own infrastructure or managed hosting) and optional support packages for security updates, maintenance, and continued development. There are no recurring license fees.
