About
FreeFlarum is a hosted forum service for creating and managing Flarum communities. It provisions a forum instance from a signup form, handles updates and extensions, and provides export support so forum owners can move their data out at any time.
The service is aimed at developers and community operators who want a managed Flarum deployment without running the software themselves. The documentation states that minor patches and security updates are applied right away, usually within 3 days, while breaking major updates can take around 3 weeks when extension compatibility is a factor.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is perpetual and has no stated usage cap, so there isn’t a defensible monthly dollar equivalent to anchor it against. The main value comes from ongoing forum hosting plus manual updates, security patches, and extension support, but the page doesn’t show a paid plan or a concrete limit that would let us price it like a metered tier.
What's included in the free tier
- Manual updates for FreeFlarum forums when compatible with the latest Flarum version.
- Minor patches and security updates applied right away, usually within 3 days.
- Major breaking updates may take around 3 weeks before FreeFlarum updates.
- Priority support for extensions used by most FreeFlarum forums.
- Extension requests can be submitted through the support site.
