What you may give up

No paid-feature limits established for this edition.

Tier A: Project FAQ explicitly confirms one free open edition, no enterprise/custom edition and no feature locks. Official support is paid; no official managed hosting. Codeberg is now canonical; GitHub remains an active mirror. License source

What running it takes

Hover or focus an icon for its name. Dashed means not established; struck through means no; grouped icons are alternatives.

Standard PHP/database application; no required PostgreSQL/Redis/search service in documented core. Official fresh-Ubuntu scripts automate installation but require download/chmod/run and configuration, so not counted as true one-click. Infrastructure and staff time are not priced here; this page does not compare total cost.
