                    Do you have special plans for open source projects,
                    non-profits, and other non-commercial entities?
                </div>
                <p class="answer">
                    Yes! Zulip Cloud Standard is free for open source
                    projects; we're proud to fully sponsor hundreds of
                    worthy organizations.  We also offer steep discounts (usually
                    85%-100%) for non-profits, education, and research, and in other
                    scenarios where most of the users are not full-time
                    employees of the customer. Generally, only closed
                    organizations that also pay their members’
                    salaries pay full price.

                <p class="answer">
                    Guests cannot see or join streams they are not invited
                    to. Guests subscribed to more than 1 stream are billed
                    like regular users. Guests subscribed to a single stream
                    are generally free, unless you have more than 5 times as
                    many single-stream guests as paying users. More details

                    should the organization purchase a paid plan or
                    get Zulip Cloud Standard free because they are an
                    open source project or similar organization.

                    What is the difference between automatic and manual billing?
                </div>
                <p class="answer">
                    With automatic billing, you automatically purchase a Zulip license
                    for each user in your organization at the start of each billing period
                    (month or year). Deactivating a user frees up their license for reuse.
                    Additional licenses are purchased automatically as needed.

                    With manual billing, you choose and pay for a preset user limit. If
                    the limit is reached, no more users can join until licenses are manually
                    added.

                    In general, we highly recommend selecting automatic billing unless you
                    have a specific reason to do otherwise.
