Your community. Zero platform risk.
Run your community server yourself, or let us run it for you. Own your data either way. Unlimited members and every in-app feature on every tier — your license sets how many members stay publicly listed and receive push notifications.
Each community server you host needs its own license. One flat fee per server, whatever it grows to.
Every in-app feature works on every tier, with no member cap: nobody is ever refused a join. Your tier sets how many members your server can have while it stays in public discovery and keeps receiving Tusile Core push notifications. Go over and those two pause until you drop back under or upgrade. The free Party tier is listed up to 25 members.

A VPS with enough memory to run a community server starts around $5 a month, before you have installed anything on it. At $6 we are within a dollar of that, and we do the installing, the updating, the certificates and the backups.
Nobody is refused a join and nothing is switched off. Sizing only matters when the machine your server shares is actually busy: if it is, and your community is larger than the plan is sized for, outgoing screen video drops to 720p30 until things settle. On a quiet host nothing changes however big you get. Messages, voice, uploads and joins are never touched. Public discovery follows the Party threshold, the same rule every tier follows.
A free hosted community sits on a box with other free communities. While that box is busy, calls and screen shares that start on it run lighter for everyone: screen video at 720p, voice at half the usual bitrate. Full quality returns once the box is quiet. No feature is switched off by this, and the app says why the moment it lowers anything. The free tier’s 10-member limit is the one thing that does refuse a join. A paid server is only asked to lower quality when it has outgrown its own plan, and its voice is never touched.
Download your whole community whenever you like, the database and every uploaded file in one archive, and restore it on your own machine. Cancel and we keep your data for 60 days, so resubscribing brings the community straight back rather than starting it over.
We aim to keep it up and we watch it, but a $6 server carries no uptime guarantee and no service credits. If that is not good enough for your community, self-host and the guarantee is yours to make.

Frequently asked questions
What is a license?
A license governs the two Tusile Core services delivered to your server: public discovery listing and push notifications. Both keep working while your member count is within the tier's threshold. Everything in the server software is included at every tier, with no member cap.
How does billing work?
Monthly or yearly through Stripe, all major cards, and regional payment methods where they are available. Upgrade, downgrade or cancel at any time from your server settings.
Can I run multiple servers?
Yes. Each server needs its own license, and you can mix tiers: a free Party license for a small private server, a Guild license for your main community.
Can I upgrade or downgrade anytime?
Both take effect immediately, and a downgrade is always allowed. If your member count ends up above the smaller tier's threshold, the server stops being publicly listed and its push notifications pause until you upgrade again or drop back under. Members are never removed.
What happens when my license subscription expires?
Nothing in the server software is disabled: messages, voice, video, uploads and joins all keep working. You revert to the free Party threshold of 25 members, so above that the server drops out of public discovery and its push notifications pause until you renew. Members are never kicked.
Is there a free trial?
Every new account gets a 30-day free trial of the Guild license (public up to 250 members). A payment method is required to start the trial, but you won't be charged until the trial ends. Cancel anytime during the trial at no cost. Each account gets one trial.
Do you offer refunds?
Contact support within 7 days of a charge for a full refund. Partial-month refunds are handled case by case.
How is member count calculated?
Everyone who has joined, active or not. It decides whether your server stays listed publicly and receives push notifications, and it never caps who can join.
What is the difference between free and paid hosting?
Both are servers we run for you. The free one is a shared slot with a real join limit: it accepts 10 members and refuses the eleventh, and uploads are capped at 50 MB per file. It costs nothing, needs no license and keeps every in-app feature. It shares one machine with the other free communities, so while that machine is busy, calls and screen shares starting on it run at reduced quality until it settles. Paid hosting at $6 a month gives your community its own server at name.tusile.com, no join limit, the Party license included, routine backups and an export you can take at any time. Self-hosting also has no join limit and is free. Neither hosted option carries an uptime guarantee.
What happens to my hosted server if I cancel?
It stops serving and your data is kept for 60 days. Resubscribe within that window and everything comes back exactly as it was, members, history and all. After 60 days the database is exported and then deleted. You can download a full copy of your community at any point before that, and restore it yourself on your own hardware.
Do you guarantee uptime on hosted servers?
No. We monitor the fleet, take routine backups and publish a status page, but hosting is best effort with no SLA and no service credits. An uptime guarantee on a $6 server would be theatre. If your community needs a guarantee, self-host and it is yours to make.
Can I self-host for free?
Yes. The Party license is free forever — unlimited members and every in-app feature included, and your server is listed in public discovery up to 25 members. Download the Docker image and run it on your own hardware.
