Free Forever. Managed When Ready.

Yes, completely. NextMedal is MIT licensed—you can use it for personal projects, client work, or commercial products. No hidden fees, no "freemium" gotchas. The source code is on GitHub, and it always will be.

Technically, nothing—you can self-host everything. But we handle the tedious parts: automatic deployments from GitHub, SSL certificates, CDN configuration, security patches, monitoring, and backups. Plus, you get access to the Medal Social marketing platform and direct support from the team that built NextMedal.

Absolutely. Most customers start with the open-source version, get comfortable, and upgrade when they need managed hosting or priority support. We'll help migrate your self-hosted site to our infrastructure—usually takes less than an hour.

Anything related to your NextMedal site: architecture reviews, performance optimization, custom module development, Sanity schema design, or just general advice. Business gets 2 hours/month, Enterprise gets unlimited. Unused hours don't roll over.

Yes! Startups less than 2 years old with under $1M in funding get 50% off Business for the first year. Non-profits and open-source projects get 30% off any plan. Contact us to apply.

Your site code is yours—it's the same open-source codebase you'd use if self-hosting. We help you export everything (content stays in your Sanity account anyway) and you can redeploy anywhere. No lock-in, ever.

Yes, annual billing gets you 2 months free (17% discount). Enterprise contracts are typically annual with custom terms.
