What you may give up

  • Enterprise self-host adds SAML/OIDC authentication, audit/admin tools and domain/site access controls.
  • First-party Cloud has separate Free/Business/Enterprise plans; self-host operators supply deployment, upgrades and database operations.

Tier B: MIT self-hosted CE includes workspace member roles and invitations. Enterprise administration/security extras justify B; hosted Cloud Business gates are not assumed to restrict CE. 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.

PostgreSQL remains external to AIO. No required Redis/cache/queue/object store documented in checked CE path. No complete one-command setup verified; docker run still needs .env/database/migrations. Infrastructure and staff time are not priced here; this page does not compare total cost.
