FAQ about listmonk for nonprofits
What does listmonk cost to use?
The self-hosted software has no licence fee and is open source under AGPLv3. Subscriber and sending capacity depend on the deployment and email provider configured by the operator, so the free licence does not impose a vendor subscription charge.
Is listmonk free for nonprofits?
No nonprofit-specific access condition or discount is stated. The qualifying free path is the AGPLv3 self-hosted software, which the cited documentation makes available without a software licence fee. Any nonprofit using it must still arrange the surrounding services.
What costs remain outside the free licence?
Hosting, server administration and email delivery services remain separate costs. listmonk also requires PostgreSQL, and the organization must configure SMTP or another supported delivery route. The cited information does not state a managed hosting price.
When is listmonk a practical free option?
The no-fee licence fits organizations able to self-host and administer the software with PostgreSQL and a delivery provider. The cited access model does not include a hosted service, so an organization seeking a vendor-managed option would need separate hosting and support.
