Common questions
What's the difference between Open Source and Cloud?
Open Source is the free BSD-3 CMS that you self host on your server. Cloud is the fully-managed hosting service from the experts that build Alchemy and have experience in hosting it for 2 decades now. No difference in licensing, code or features.
I run a commercial business. Can I still use the open source version?
Absolutely. Alchemy is BSD licensed, with no restriction to the kind of business you run. We just ask you to consider using the cloud, so you can concentrate on your core business and support the development and sustainability of the CMS you love and use.
I run an agency using Alchemy for many of my clients. Do you offer volume discounts or team plans?
You can create as many projects in the cloud as you like. Reach out to us and we will figure out a volume offer for you.
Who is behind the Alchemy Cloud?
The cloud is a service from Blish - the company that Thomas, the creator and core maintainer of Alchemy, founded to offer development services and consulting for Alchemy and Ruby on Rails projects. It's the same team that maintains and runs Alchemy for businesses all around the world for nearly 2 decades now.
