Cost Factors
Setting up OpenProject on a hosted server involves several cost factors, including hosting fees, installation charges, and any additional services like support or customization. Here’s a breakdown of the common rates:
1. Hosting Fees
- Cloud Hosting: OpenProject offers its own cloud hosting, with prices starting around $500 per year for small teams (up to 10 users) and increasing based on the number of users.
- Third-party Cloud Hosting (e.g., AWS,
DigitalOcean, etc.): If you host OpenProject on
your own cloud server, expect to pay:
- AWS, Azure, Google Cloud: $50–$200 per month for a medium-sized instance.
- DigitalOcean, Linode, etc.: $10–$80 per month depending on server size and performance.
2. Installation Charges
- Self-hosted Setup: Depending on the complexity, hiring an IT professional to set up OpenProject may cost $300–$1000, depending on customization, data migration, and security configurations.
- Managed Setup by OpenProject Enterprise: If you opt for an enterprise license and use OpenProject's official services, they might offer installation assistance included with the enterprise plan (starting at €495 per month or more based on features).
3. Enterprise Plugins and Features
If you want enterprise-level features like project planning, time tracking, or enhanced security, additional charges apply. These costs can range from €495 to €1000+ per month for large-scale teams, based on the user count.
4. Ongoing Support and Maintenance
OpenProject provides support and maintenance under their enterprise plans, but for self-hosted setups, ongoing server maintenance and updates might cost an additional $100–$300 per month if outsourced.
5. Customization or Integration
For deeper customizations, including integrating OpenProject with other tools (like ERP or CRM systems), costs might range from $500 to $2000+ depending on the scope.
