Self-hosting with zero license fees

The Bad

The Verdict

Huly is a radical rethinking of project management pricing: unlimited users on every tier, forever. Instead of per-seat charges that punish team growth, Huly charges only for storage and bandwidth consumption. A 10-person startup and a 50-person agency pay the same free price ($0/month) until they exceed resource limits—this pricing model is genuinely unique in the market. Huly bundles everything: project management, issue tracking, CRM, team chat, time tracking, and documentation into one open-source platform, consolidating what other tools require in separate subscriptions.\n\nFor indie hackers and bootstrapped teams, Huly's appeal is immediate: complete code ownership via GitHub, self-hosting with Docker, zero license fees, and genuine unlimited-user collaboration. The platform is younger (active development since 2024) but gaining traction with developers and product teams tired of per-seat pricing. The free Common tier (10 GB storage) suits small teams; the Rare tier ($19.99/month, 100 GB storage) scales to micro-agencies. Self-hosting is free forever—you only pay cloud infrastructure costs. Trade-off: it's newer and requires more technical setup than established competitors.
