Zulip too has similar restrictions even on their self hosted plans. SAML/LDAP is behind paywall too.

Just looked to their self hosted plans:

    - No limitation on search, members, etc.
    - 10 user limit for mobile notifications, can be relaxed via community (for non-profits, FOSS projects, etc.)
    - SAML/LDAP *support* is available, you can configure it. They won't provide answers to your questions.
    - Actually, all Zulip features are enabled sans Mobile Notifications, but for most of them, you're on your own. If you know what you're doing, it's not a problem, I assume.

IOW, for self-hosted plans, you pay for support, not the software. a-la early RedHat model.

Ref: https://zulip.com/plans/#self-hosted-sponsorships

This is false, SAML and LDAP are available. Zulip self hosted has all features with no restrictions, except for mobile notifications which require a subscription for $3.50/u/m (unless you are less than 10 users or are not a non-profit of any kind)

  • It’s a bit odd though that Zulip charge $ for mobile notifications but still don’t have basic end-to-end encryption for those push notifications .

    • The feature is deployed in the server, mobile clients are still pending the release iinm. But it's coming.

  • > unless you are less than 10 users or are not a non-profit of any kind

    They only give free accounts to non-profits with zero paid staff.

What restrictions have you hit ?

  • Seeing their pricing page, mobile notifications for upto 10 users is too less.

    • But you mentioned similar...this is a discussion about message limits (and saml ?). Those are free for self hosted.

      Push uses _their_ services. That's why it costs $$$. But you can build your own apns endpoint and plug into that at that volume
