Common questions
Do I need a key to self-host?
No. The ɳChat client and the 26 free ɳSelf plugins are MIT, run them on any server without a key. The ɳChat Bundle key enables the 8 paid plugins above.
Is it per-seat or per-server?
Per key, not per seat. One $0.99/mo key works on any number of servers and supports any number of users.
What happens if I cancel?
The paid plugins go dormant on the next nself build. Your data stays on your server. The free tier remains fully functional.
Can I try before buying?
Yes. The /demo page shows a live read-only ɳChat instance running the full bundle.
