Yes! Some of our biggest fans have hundreds or thousands
|
|
|
|
of users, including Fortune 500 companies like Akamai,
|
|
|
|
and open source communities like

If I start out on the Zulip hosted cloud service,
|
2017-09-22 08:09:55 +02:00
|
|
|
can I later switch to running my own server?

Yes! Zulip supports exporting your organization's
|
|
|
|
data and then importing it into another Zulip

My organization isn't obviously eligible for your free
|
|
|
|
hosting plan, but we have a lot of users and can't
|
|
|
|
afford to pay for all of them. Do you offer discounts
|
|
|
|
for this sort of situation?

Yes! Our pricing is designed to be affordable for
|
|
|
|
companies that are paying their users a salary.
|
|
|
|
If your organization is an educational institution
|
2017-09-22 08:09:55 +02:00
|
|
|
or otherwise has a lot of non-salaried
|
|
|
|
participants we can likely offer your organization
|
|
|
|
free or highly discounted
