They say it’s free to use during beta, so that’s probably why there’s no price for it yet.
Well, sure, that's the usual tactic: hook users into your platform and then after they already invested the time to get things set up, make them pay.
I really hope these strategies don't become the norm. The amount of people who are willing to pay for hosting is still quite small, I don't want to have to take Communick into some race to the bottom to compete for these customers.
Also, they do charge for media storage. So, even if you are not paying for the instance you may find yourself paying a significant bill because you follow a bunch of media-heavy accounts.
