Server fee

For any web application to work, there are multiple elements that must be provided (many more than you may think).

  1. Servers: Host the application and data.
  2. Data Centers: Facilities that house servers and ensure optimal operation.
  3. Networking: Includes routers, switches, and firewalls for connectivity and security.
  4. Load Balancers: Distribute traffic to prevent server overload.
  5. Database Systems: Store and manage data (SQL and NoSQL databases).
  6. Content Delivery Networks (CDN): Distribute content globally to reduce latency.
  7. DNS (Domain Name System): Translates domain names into IP addresses.
  8. Caching Mechanisms: Store frequently accessed data to improve performance.
  9. Security Infrastructure: Protects against threats (firewalls, SSL/TLS, etc.).
  10. Monitoring and Logging: Track performance and diagnose issues.
  11. Backup and Disaster Recovery: Ensure data is backed up and can be restored.
  12. Scalability Solutions: Handle varying loads efficiently (auto-scaling, Kubernetes).
  13. DevOps Tools: Automate development and deployment processes (CI/CD pipelines).
  14. Compliance and Governance: Ensure adherence to regulations and standards.
  15. Support and Maintenance: Regular updates and technical support.
That's why the basis for any solution is hosting. We introduce a 50 EUR per year “server fee” which is limited with fair use policies. As you may understand now, we don't make money on this fee, it is used to cover the basic needs, so your solutions may work like electricity and server components. The fee may be limited with a scaling factor (i.e. number of properties severed) depending on the service. Furthermore, if we observe some significant overhead, you may be asked for a surcharge or move to a commercial hosting platform. We also don't share profit from this fee. Even the sales commission doesn't apply here.

Commercial hosting:

  • Shared Hosting: Ideal for beginners and simple websites, with prices starting around $2.75-$3.99/month. Bluehost, HostGator, and SiteGround are popular choices with good support and basic features.
  • VPS Hosting: Offers more control and performance, suitable for more complex applications. Prices start around $2.50-$5/month. DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr provide scalable solutions.
  • Cloud Hosting: Provides high scalability and flexibility, starting around $3.50-$9.36/month. AWS Lightsail, GCP, and Azure are excellent for projects requiring dynamic scaling.

Software access fees

There are two models for software access fee:

  • subscription (SaaS) model - where you pay a fee monthly/yearly
  • perpetual (license) model - where you pay one-time fee

The pros and cons of each model are presented to your left.

To have a valid subscription, you have two options:

  • pay a subscription fee
  • become and maintain the status of an investor.(as long as your total contribution percentage is over 20 you are entitled to the current version of the software, thereafter, you can move to the license-based model, and you are entitled to the last version of the software you were using)

To buy a license, contact us​. In order for this model to work, we will have to move you to a separate (custom) infrastructure. These two models don't cohabit well on the same server environment. Please note that all tasks related to license model infrastructure management are billed separately.(see below for details) This follows from the fact that we can't fully automatize the infrastructure in such a case. So all maintenance related issues like backups have to be set and maintained separately. Of course, you are entitled to resign from these services.

This part of the price (regardless of the access model) is shared between investors. (see here).

On-boarding fee

Our one-time software on-boarding fee ensures you get the most out of your new software from day one. This fee covers everything needed for a seamless setup and effective utilization, providing immense value and peace of mind. Here’s why our on-boarding service is the perfect choice for your business:

  1. System Configuration: We set up the software to align with your business requires, ensuring everything is ready for you to use. (always required)
  2. Quick Start training:: Get up and running with minimal hassle. Benefit from professional setup and training to maximize your software’s potential by using our limited online support or training of your choice (required for more advanced products)

Typically, the on-boarding fee is 80 EUR for simple products and 160 EUR for more advanced products. The onboarding fee is charged every time you board the relevant service (it also applies in the situation when you stopped paying the other fees for some time)

If you have an investor status, you are waived from on-boarding fee, and you get the basic on-boarding for free for the product line you are investing in. We don't share profit from the on-boarding fee with investors (only sales commission can apply)



Personalized implementation, training, and development

  • Customized Implementation: Tailor the setup and configuration to align perfectly with your unique business needs.
  • Comprehensive Training: Equip your team with the skills they need to succeed through personalized training sessions.
  • Bespoke Development: Get custom features and functionalities developed to address your specific requirements.

Based on open-source technology, we have unlimited possibilities of changing the software to adapt it to meet your needs accurately. In case of need, consider the following options:

  • send a feature request - if the feature is wanted by more people and there is an investor that will cover the cost, you may get the feature in one of the future versions
  • become an investor - invest in the feature yourself, get it in one of the shortcoming software versions and earn some money back (subject to product management decision)
  • get a custom software - if you really need the feature, and it can't be incorporated into the main software version

The above services are paid separately based on time needed to execute needed actions. We estimate it before the project begins. Our rates depend on the task, urgency, etc. are between 60 and 80 EUR per hour. The sales commission applies to these services too.
