The trade-offs include cost, scale, and operating responsibility. The free Community Edition is self-hosted and supported through community channels; Professional costs €144 a month for up to 100 users with SaaS hosting, and includes premium support and updates. Enterprise pricing is custom, and networks with 1,000 or more users require a quote. When comparing alternatives, consider whether you need HumHub’s modular intranet features, a different emphasis such as forums or events, mobile and platform access, and the hosting and support model that fits your organization.
