Docmost Enterprise Pricing: The Real Cost of Self-Hosting vs Managed
Free Community Edition sounds cheap until you add infrastructure, backups, SSL, monitoring, and DevOps time. See what Docmost really costs, and why managed hosting saves both money and headaches.
Self-hosting Docmost sounds free but it costs €170-€1,700 per month
The Docmost Community Edition is open-source and licensed under AGPL-3.0. No license fees. But that's only the license.
Here's what you actually pay:
- Server infrastructure: €10-€100/month (VPS, load balancing, failover)
- Database hosting: €20-€50/month (PostgreSQL managed service or self-hosted DB cluster)
- DevOps labor: 2-8 hours per month at €50-€200/hour maintaining backups, patches, SSL renewal, monitoring (€100-€1,600/month)
Total monthly cost: €170-€1,700. That's not free.
Meanwhile, Notion charges €9.50-€19.50 per user per month, and Confluence Cloud charges per-user with no cap. Docmost Community itself is free, but running it is not.
Opsily removes that hidden burden with flat-rate managed hosting: One price covers infrastructure, backups, monitoring, compliance, and DevOps—so you never again calculate the true cost of 'free.'

Why Opsily for Enterprise Docmost
Managed hosting lets you focus on knowledge management, not infrastructure.
Flat rate, not per-user
