Koloshare

One price per site, not per person

Six staff or six hundred, the figure is the same. Start on the free tier and stay there as long as it suits you; upgrading is one licence key and nothing is lost on the way.

Pick a billing period

Both prices are per site and include every member of staff who signs in.

Yearly is about 20% less than twelve months of monthly.

Prices exclude VAT. VAT-registered businesses can enter their number at the checkout; everyone else has it added at the applicable rate.

What sits in which tier

The free tier is a working file library with the full admin app and the full security behind it. What you buy is everything around the files: the news, the people, the locks, your own branding, and the tools for documents that need holding on to.

The things people ask before they pay

Is it priced per user?

No. One subscription per site, whether you have six staff or six hundred. Adding people costs nothing, which is the entire point.

Do I need separate hosting?

No. Koloshare installs into the WordPress site you already run. Files go in your Media Library and content goes in your database, so everything stays on the hosting you already pay for.

What do I actually get for free?

The Starter tier is free forever: a private file library with no cap on how much goes in it, plus the branded login, the security features and the admin app. It is a real working intranet, not a trial with a clock on it.

What happens if I stop paying?

Nothing is deleted. The workspace falls back to the Starter tier and keeps every file and setting. News, team and contacts stay in the database but are not shown until a licence comes back, and then everything reappears where it was.

Who takes the payment?

Freemius, who handle the licence and the receipts. The plugin code itself is GPL-2.0-or-later.

Is there a lifetime licence?

No. Koloshare is sold as a monthly or yearly subscription, per site. Yearly is the closest thing to paying once: a single payment a year, about 20 per cent less than twelve months of monthly.

What support is there?

Email support is included with Premium, and we answer general questions from anyone. It is best effort with no guaranteed response time, which we would rather state plainly than bury in a service agreement.

Who backs it up?

Your host does, the same as the rest of your site. Koloshare deliberately has no backup system of its own, so check your hosting plan has enough storage and that restores actually work before you make this your team's only copy of anything.

Start on nothing and see how far it gets you

Install the plugin, run the setup wizard, and there is a working intranet on your site today. The licence key comes later, if it comes at all.
