For communities wanting to use Helpbuttons#
The software is free and open-source. We also offer free options for communities that need support getting started — get in touch and we'll find a way to help.
- Self-host: follow the Installation Guide — it takes less than an hour, and it's completely free
- Hosted option: if you don't have your own server, you can request a network on the team's server at helpbuttons.org. A fixed fee applies to cover accompaniment, maintenance, and technical assistance — end users of your network are never charged by us
- Help getting started: join Telegram and ask — the community is happy to support new Network coordinators
