Self-hosted community vs. a SaaS platform — your take?

CA Carlos Mendes 2 months ago

Clients always ask whether to self-host on WordPress or use a hosted community SaaS. I have my biases, but I want to steelman both sides.

What tips your recommendation one way or the other?

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.
