OpenQuok Cloud

What the hosted product gives you, and how it differs from running OpenQuok yourself.

OpenQuok Cloud is the same application you can run on your own servers. You use it at openquok.com. The features match self-hosting: calendar, composer, agents, CLI, MCP, and the public API.

The difference is who does the work. On Cloud, OpenQuok runs the hosted stack, registers the social developer apps, and enforces limits from your plan.

You connect channels and schedule posts. You do not manage database(including Redis and supabase), workers, CLI Auth/MCP servers or maintain OAuth keys/ API integration with different social platforms.

There is no free plan

On Cloud, a workspace without a paid subscription cannot use the scheduler. New accounts see the plan until they subscribe or start a free trial.

Most new workspaces can use a 7-day trial instead. You can explore without a credit card. When the trial ends, you need an active subscription to keep scheduling.

Self-hosting does not use this gate. If you run OpenQuok yourself and leave Stripe unset, there is no hosted paywall. You operate the server, backups, and social apps.

Tip

Read Self-host OpenQuok for paths and cost, or Installation for step-by-step docs. Operators who enable Stripe on their own instance can bill workspaces the same way Cloud does — Stripe billing.
