Open source also needs a business model to be sustainable. So I'm not a fan of doing price comparisons with some similar commercial SaaS. Competing on control, transparency, community, flexibility and support will be better long-term.

At least that's my vision for http://pikapods.com, which allows for convenient FOSS hosting, while sharing revenue with the original project and avoiding any lock-in.

Great project!

Unfortunately pikapods itself doesn't seem to be open source?

I'd love to be able to throw it on my own VPS but appreciate the hosted option as well - very smooth experience when I tried it
