All services (i.e. Installation, Development, Implementation) are available as add-ons (discounts available for long-term engagements). See Services page for more info.
1 OpenBoxes is free to download and use, but nothing is really ever free. Unless you plan to install OpenBoxes on your personal laptop, you'll have costs associated with operating the software. Read Total Cost of Ownership to better understand the costs associated with any software system you plan to adopt.
2 Paid to DigitalOcean.
3 Pricing for the Business package fluctuates based on our availability and capacity to provide quality hosting and support. At the moment, we recommend the Basic Hosting with Standard Support if you think the Business Hosting is too expensive.
4 On-Premise implementations are available as an add-on for any package. In addition, we can configure a network of on-premise servers to sync with a parent cloud server in case of Internet outages. Ask us about our On-Premise implementation plan when requesting a quote.

FAQ
Yes, OpenBoxes is free to download and use. We do not charge you for user licenses and other fees. In other words, you are free to install the software on your laptop or a server that you manage without having to pay us for user licenses and other fees.
OpenBoxes, the software, is free to download and use.
But unless you plan to install OpenBoxes on your personal laptop or desktop, you’ll have costs associated with operating the software.
Read our Total Cost of Ownership guide to better understand the costs associated with adopting and using OpenBoxes.
Supporting software is time-consuming and expensive. In order to provide support to our users we need a team to cover our support hours even on days when there are no support requests.
If our support packages are too expensive, we highly recommend that you use our Community self-service support options until you need a guaranteed level of support.
There are basically two ways to customize the software
- Hire your own developers and contribute the code back to core (or to your own fork).
- Hire us and we’ll take care of all the complexity of gathering requirements, developing, testing, and release your features.
If you are interested in option (2) please contact us at support@openboxes.com to discuss your requirements and we’ll provide a proposal with a quote and timeline for your feature request.
Yes, please. We don’t have an official partnership agreement, but we’d love to promote companies that are willing to provide services to our users.
Contribute to this discussion on our forum if you’re interested in providing services. Once we get enough interest we’ll add a page dedicated to service vendors.
At the moment, we provide support for US Business Hours. However, we can discuss 24⁄7 support to accommodate businesses located outside of the US.
Please email support@openboxes.com if you would like to discuss 24⁄7 and location-specific support options.
Ha ha. No. Literally no one has ever asked a frequently asked question. Ever.
If you would like to purchase larger increments of time in order to develop multiple customizations at one time, we’d be happy to discuss discounted rates. Contact our support team provide them with details about your requirements and we’ll get back to you with a quote.
Please contact us if you are a non-profit or small business that doesn’t think they can afford the costs. We can work with you on your budget and/or reach out to some of our partners for alternative quotes. Provide details to our support team and we’ll try to accommodate your budget constraints. We can also work with hosting providers to discount the cost of hosting. In fact, Azure, AWS and Google provide steep discounts that usually cover the cost of hosting and more.
