At OpenProject, we strongly believe in the “Public Money, Public Code” principle. That is why we continue to invest in our free and open source Community edition, and regularly release features from our Enterprise edition to Community one.
By choosing a paid Enterprise plan, you are helping fund the ongoing development of OpenProject — including the Community edition. Your support enables us to keep improving the platform for everyone, building new features, fixing bugs, and ensuring long-term sustainability. Paying for the Enterprise edition doesn’t just benefit your organization — it benefits the entire OpenProject Community.

The OpenProject Enterprise plans (hosted or on-premises) include different support packages as well as Enterprise add-ons and additional security features. Depending on what features you require, select the Enterprise plan that works best for your organization.

The main difference between the two is the hosting mode. The on-premises version will be self-hosted on your own infrastructure while the cloud version will be hosted and maintained by us. Please note that some of the plans are not available for the cloud hosting mode.

The integration between OpenProject and Nextcloud is part of the open source and free of charge Community edition, including all file management functionalities. However, please note that setting up the Single Sign-on via OpenID Connect Identity Provider is an Enterprise Add-on and can only be used with Enterprise cloud or Enterprise on-premises (available under the Enterprise Corporate plan).

We offer a free trial for both hosting options - For the cloud, simply create a 14 days free trial on https://start.openproject.com/. If you do not decide to upgrade after this time, it will be blocked and deleted automatically without the need of cancellation.
For the on-premises, if you already have the Community version installed, navigate to → Administration → Enterprise edition in your installation. Here, you can simply click the green Start free trial button and you will get a 14 days free trial token via email. If you do not decide to upgrade after this time, it will automatically switch back to the Community version without the need of cancellation. Please find the detailed instruction here.

In general we offer credit card payment for the cloud and on-premises version. On top of that, we offer payment via invoice (bank transfer) for annual cloud plans and the on-premises plans. However, bank transfer is only possible for organizations based in the EU, Switzerland and the United States.
Please note that we cannot accept payment via check nor PayPal.

In OpenProject the number of named users is counted. However, you can block a user in order to free up a user slot for another user. If a user no longer requires access to OpenProject, you can lock that user. The user’s data still persists but the user can no longer sign in. Instead, you can invite another user to your OpenProject environment. To learn more, find out how to manage users.
