Papercups Plans Pricing

Papercups is open-source software (MIT) that can be self-hosted at no license cost; the REST API, realtime WebSocket chat, and webhooks are all available on a self-hosted deployment with no per-call charge from the project. A hosted version historically ran at app.papercups.io with free and paid tiers, but the project is now in maintenance mode (community-maintained, no major new features) and current hosted-tier availability and pricing are not reliably published, so paid-tier details are not reconciled here.

Papercups Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Papercups on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.

It defines 2 plans, covering free and usage tiers, with named plans including Self-Hosted (Open Source), Hosted (SaaS).

Tagged areas include Customer Messaging, Live Chat, Open Source, Support, and Intercom Alternative.
