What you may give up
- Community documented for up to 100 concurrent users; vendor push capped at 10,000/month.
- Community limited app integrations and video integrations (Jitsi/BigBlueButton only); advanced identity/governance and air-gapped offering require premium plan.
Tier C: MIT core excludes ee directories and third-party license exceptions. Proprietary premium-enabled Starter free plan (50 registered users) is separate from Community. Routine collaboration limits justify C. Current paid plans Commercial/Government/Defense; Pro became legacy April 29, 2026. License source
