Managed open source: free software for your company, with no per-user licenses

Licenses checked on October 9, 2026 in each tool’s official repository (sources at the bottom).

There are free tools that do the same job as an expensive SaaS, but someone has to install them, update them and bring them back up when they fail. That is managed open source: you use the tool with your own domain and your own data, and the server, versions and backups are handled by whoever manages it.

What you pay for and what you don’t

The software charges no per-user license. What you pay for is the server it runs on and the work of managing it: installation, updates, monitoring and daily backups.

It is not free, and it is worth saying clearly: the savings show up as your team grows, because the cost does not multiply with every person who uses the tool. If you are a team of one, a SaaS free plan may be cheaper.

Tools we manage

Tool	What it does	License	Alternative to
Chatwoot	Omnichannel customer service: WhatsApp on the official API, Instagram, Facebook, website chat and email in one shared inbox.	MIT (open source)	Zendesk, Intercom or Kommo for customer service. See the Kommo comparison.
Mautic	Email marketing and marketing automation.	GPL-3.0 (open source)	Email marketing platforms that charge per contact.
Odoo Community	ERP and CRM: sales, purchasing, inventory, invoicing.	LGPL-3.0 (open source). The Enterprise edition is paid.	Cloud ERPs licensed per user.
WordPress	Website and online store.	GPLv2 or later (open source)	Website builders with a monthly plan.
n8n	Process automation across your systems.	Sustainable Use License (source-available)	Zapier or Make.
Typebot	Conversational chatbots for web and WhatsApp.	FSL-1.1 (source-available; each version becomes Apache 2.0 after two years)	Subscription chatbot builders.

n8n and Typebot are not open source in the strict sense: their code is public, but the license limits commercial use. That is why we install them on a dedicated instance for each client, for its internal use.

When it pays off

Several people on your team use the same tool and per-user licenses weigh on the bill.
You want your data on a server under your control.
You need the tools to integrate with each other and with the systems you already use.
You do not want to be locked in: the same software can be installed on another server.

When it does not

You are a team of one and a SaaS free plan is enough.
You need a feature that only exists in the paid version of the tool (for example, the built-in AI of some products).
You prefer not to depend on anyone managing a server.

How we work

You request a quote from your panel or on WhatsApp, telling us which tools you need and for how many people.
We install each tool on a server, on your domain, and connect it with your other systems.
We manage it: updates, monitoring and daily backups. You open it from your panel and, if something fails, you open a ticket.

Request your quote

Creating an account on the panel is free and asks for no card. The service is quoted based on the tools and the size of your team.

Frequently asked questions

Does open source mean free?

The software charges no license, but someone has to install it, maintain it and pay for the server. That is what we quote, and it does not multiply per user.

Where does my data live?

On the server where the tool is installed, with daily backups. Because the software is open, you are not locked in to us: the same tool can be installed on another server.

What happens if a tool goes down?

We monitor it and bring it back up ourselves. If you notice something wrong, you open a ticket from your panel and a person on the team answers.

Are n8n and Typebot open source?

Not in the strict sense. Their code is public, but their licenses (Sustainable Use License and FSL) limit commercial use. We install them on a dedicated instance for each client, for its internal use.
