COMPARISON

DANIAN vs proprietary SaaS.

The subscriptions a small business runs — a password manager, a CRM, analytics, automation, team chat, scheduling, forms — almost all have a mature open-source equivalent.

DANIAN runs that equivalent for you: the same job, on your own instance, with your data under your control and humans doing the setup, for a flat €9 per app per month. Proprietary SaaS charges per seat and keeps your data in its system. This page shows the same tools, side by side, with what each one costs.

The shape of the bill

The difference isn't only price — it's what you're paying for and who holds your data. Proprietary SaaS rents you access per seat, on the vendor's servers, under the vendor's terms. DANIAN runs the open-source version of the same tool as a managed app: one flat price per app no matter how many people use it, the data on your own instance and exportable any time, and the software stays yours because it's open-source. Browse the apps on the catalog.

Two ways to run the same tool

What each one actually is.

This isn't open-source-as-compromise. For most everyday business software, the open-source app does the same job — the real differences are the price shape, who holds the data, and who keeps it running.

DANIAN

A curated catalog of 150+ open-source applications, hosted and looked after for a flat €9 per app, per month — Vaultwarden, EspoCRM, Matomo, n8n, Mattermost, Nextcloud, Mautic, PeerTube and more. Each app runs on its own instance with hardened container isolation, guaranteed resources and isolated networking, and you keep terminal and file-manager access through the dashboard. The database the app needs, daily off-site backups, security patches, hardware and monitoring are all included, alongside human-on-call support. Choose any of 21 datacenter regions across six continents for your data.

FLAT €9/APP NO PER-SEAT FEE
YOU OWN THE DATA HUMAN SETUP

Best fit: small teams replacing one or more SaaS subscriptions who want the same tools, their own data, and a predictable bill.

Proprietary SaaS

The hosted subscription tools most teams start with — a password manager, a CRM, an analytics suite, an automation platform, a chat app. They're typically polished, quick to start, and rich in integrations, and the vendor runs everything. In exchange, pricing is usually per user per month, so the bill grows with the team; the data lives in the vendor's system under their terms, with export often limited; and if you stop paying, access usually stops with it. For many teams they're a fine starting point — the questions are cost at scale, data ownership, and lock-in.

PER-SEAT PRICING VENDOR HOLS DATA
POLISHED & QUICK LOCK-IN RISK

Best fit: teams that need a specific proprietary feature or integration, or want a vendor to own every part of the product.

Where DANIAN wins

Four differences beyond the sticker.

The euro gap is the obvious part. These four are the ones that compound — as the team grows, as the data piles up, as the years pass.

A flat price, not a per-seat meter

Most SaaS charges per user per month, so every hire raises the bill on every tool at once. DANIAN charges per app — €9, flat — and adding people to that app costs nothing extra. A five-person Vaultwarden and a thirty-person one are the same price. The more your team grows, the wider the gap.

Your data, on your own instance

With proprietary SaaS your data lives in the vendor's system under their terms, and export is often limited. On DANIAN each app runs on its own instance with its own database; you can export everything, any time, and because the software is open-source it keeps working no matter what. Leaving is always an option you control — which is the opposite of lock-in.

One bill, not a dozen renewals

A typical small business runs a password manager, a CRM, analytics, automation, chat, forms, and scheduling — each its own subscription, its own renewal, its own per-seat creep. Run them as apps and it's one flat line per app on one invoice, with no surprise tier jumps when you add a person or cross a usage threshold.

A human does the setup and the move

Switching tools is usually the hard part, and it's where most people stall. DANIAN's 24/7 chat does the actual work: the DNS edit, the SSL and email setup, the first import of your existing data. You don't need to be technical, and you're not handed a migration guide and left to it.

Honest read

Where proprietary SaaS is the right pick.

Open-source isn't the answer to everything, and pretending otherwise would be the wrong advice. Two cases where a proprietary subscription genuinely fits better — and two where DANIAN clearly does.

You depend on one specific proprietary feature

If your workflow leans on a particular integration, a polished mobile app, or an AI feature only the proprietary tool has, that can be worth paying per seat for. Check what you actually rely on before switching. If it's there, stay on the SaaS.

USE THE SAAS

You want the vendor to own everything

Some teams would rather one vendor build, run, and answer for the whole product, and never think about which app is hosted where. That's a legitimate preference, and proprietary SaaS is built around it. If that's you, the subscription earns its price.

USE THE SAAS

Your team is growing and the per-seat bill is too

If you're watching a subscription climb with every hire and feeling the renewal creep, a flat €9 per app — no matter the headcount — turns that curve into a flat line. The bigger the team, the more it saves. Use DANIAN.

USE DANIAN

You want your data and an exit that's always open

If owning your data and never being locked in matters — being able to export everything and leave, with the software still yours because it's open-source — that's the heart of what DANIAN offers, with a human to help you set it up. Use DANIAN.

USE DANIAN

Real-world math

One small team, the everyday stack.

A five-person business running the tools most teams run: a password manager, a CRM, analytics, automation, and team chat. Here's the monthly shape each way — same five jobs, different bill.

On DANIAN — five managed apps

YOUR MONTHLY INVOICE

Vaultwarden (password manager) - €9

EspoCRM/Twenty (CRM) - €9

Matomo (analytics) - €9

n8n (automation) - €9

Mattermost (team chat) - €9

Databases, backups, setup - Included

Cost of adding a 6th person - €0

Effective monthly €45

Flat, per app, regardless of headcount. The data is yours and exportable any time.

On proprietary SaaS — five subscriptions

YOUR MONTHLY INVOICE

Password manager¹ - ≈ €37

CRM⁷ - ≈ €179

Analytics² - free + your time

Automation³ - ≈ €64

Team chat (10 seats)⁴ - ≈ €138

Cost of adding a 6th person - every tool goes up

Effective monthly ≈ €420+

Using a mid-range CRM here, not the enterprise tier — with HubSpot or Salesforce in that row the total runs past €700–1,200/month. Each tool is its own renewal and its own per-seat increase, and the data sits with each vendor. Prices verified June 2026 — re-check before relying on them.

Same tools, different terms

Keep the tools. Own the data. Pay a flat price.

Proprietary SaaS is often the easy first choice — polished, quick to start, and someone else's problem to run. For some teams and some features, that's the right call, and this page is honest about which. But the bill grows with every seat, the data lives in the vendor's system, and leaving gets harder the longer you stay.

DANIAN runs the open-source version of the same tools as managed apps: the password manager, the CRM, the analytics, the automation, the chat — each on your own instance, your data exportable any time, a human doing the setup, for a flat €9 per app. Same jobs, done the same way day to day, on terms that favour you instead of the renewal. Pick the side that matches whether you want to rent access or own the tool.

Pick proprietary SaaS when…

You depend on a specific proprietary feature or integration, or you'd rather one vendor build and run the entire product end to end.

Pick DANIAN when…

You want the same everyday tools without the per-seat climb, your own data with an exit that stays open, and a human to set it all up for a flat €9 per app.

Questions

What buyers ask before they switch.

Is open-source software really a replacement for the SaaS I use?

For most everyday business tools, yes. The open-source apps in DANIAN's catalog cover the same jobs as the common subscriptions — a password manager, a CRM, analytics, automation, team chat, forms, scheduling, file storage.

They're mature projects used by large organisations, not toys. Where a proprietary tool has a specific feature you depend on, it's worth checking before you switch; for the core of what most small teams use every day, the open-source version does the job.

Why is DANIAN a flat €9 when SaaS charges per seat?

Because the two are priced on different things. Most SaaS charges per user per month, so the bill grows every time you add a person.

DANIAN charges per app — a flat €9 a month for the app itself, the database it needs, daily off-site backups, and support — and adding team members to that app doesn't change the price. A five-person password manager and a thirty-person one are both €9.

What does "you own your data" actually mean here?

It means the app and its database are yours, running on your own instance, and you can export everything and leave whenever you want — the software is open-source, so it keeps working regardless of us.

With most proprietary SaaS, your data lives in the vendor's system under their terms, export is often limited, and if you stop paying you can lose access to it. On DANIAN the data is yours to take with you, and we'll help you do it.

Will I lose features by moving off a polished SaaS tool?

Sometimes a little, sometimes nothing. Proprietary tools are often more polished at the edges — a slicker mobile app, a specific integration, an AI feature. The open-source equivalents cover the core job well and improve quickly, and you gain control of your data and a flat price.

The honest answer is to trial the app against your real workflow for a week and see; if a feature you need is missing, you'll know before you switch.

What if I have 30 users instead of 5?

The price is the same: €9 per app. Most of these open-source apps don't license per seat, so a thirty-person team on a managed Vaultwarden, EspoCRM, or Mattermost is still €9 for that app.

That's where the gap against per-seat SaaS gets widest — the more people you add, the more a per-seat subscription costs and the more a flat €9 saves.

Successful businesses and professionals around the world rely on DANIAN every day

No more maintenance headaches!

Finaly, I can relax and not bother with maintenance. Each of the softwares that we run on DANIAN is automated and running stable for couple months already. They even assist us with modifying the DNS records. Once we needed to modify the config of Nextcloud so that we are able to upload higher than 5GB files and they assisted us fast. I also love their documentation!

Kevin Blackwell

Best managed service

I previously ran Peertube, Mastodon, Mattermost and Mirotalk on other providers before switching to DANIAN. I was tired of handling the updates and backups myself. Not only that the performance is "out of this world" fast, but their tech support is amazing. Since then I added 5-10 more Apps on my account. I also love how they add more softwares on their list constantly!

William Northfield

Love the personalized service!

I own an ecommerce startup. I knew that I need some softwares so that I add automations in my biz. I hopped on their livechat and I explained my needs. Albert recommended me couple softwares, each for a specific use-case. I signed up for the free trial and tested all. Ended up activating 6 apps. Everything is running smooth 2 months so far. I love the personalized service that I get with them!

George Adams

n8n runs excellent

We needed to add the ffmpeg functionality to our n8n instance. I contacted their support team. They made the required changes in couple minutes and notified me. Usually for this type of service I would need to hire a developer on a hourly basis. Love them!

David Hartmann

Smooth experience

I needed a way to manage the projects and files for my company. This was the first time I learn about opensource. I asked their support and livechat and they assisted me immediately. I started with Openproject. Later I added Nextcloud. My team were able to get used to the apps fast.

Levi Nilsson

Bye GA

I wanted to replace GA with something but I didn't know the options. I talked with Jack on the livechat. Couple minutes after that, I have a running Matomo Analytics. They even configured the tracking and connected it with my website. I have only words of appreciation and respect!

Wyatt Mitchell

Love the freedom

I wanted to use a crm for my startup. I signed up for the free trial. Tried out espocrm and dolibar and picked one. Their dashboard is very easy for a beginner. I recommend them and feel confident in choosing them.

Elias Koch

Wow just wow

After discovering DANIAN, I wished I'd found them sooner — their solution is excellent and deserves wider recognition. Very good solution!

Tyler Hollander

Professional tech support!

I thought that I knew what I was doing and I made changes in the Mattermost backend config file. Then it broke. I reached out to their tech and received an incredibly specific and fast response. They found the error fast and provided a clear solution.

Bastian Engel

Their support team is the best!

I had a problem with my card and the subscription could not be renewed in time. I notified their support and surprisingly, they showed much understanding. They basically left my apps run until I solved the card issue. Other providers would have deleted my data in a heartbeat. This is the way to build client-vendor trust!

George Adams

Fair price and fast

4 months ago I activated n8n, Uptime kuma, Vaultwarden and Paperlessngx. So far everything is perfect. The performance of all apps is excellent. I contacted their support team couple times for using custom subdomains for the apps and they were fast and kind. I'm constantly recommending them to my network!

Atanas

Vaultwarden 10/10

I wanted to selfhost a passwords manager for my company but I didn't trust the mainstream providers. I tried out Vaultwarden for the free trial. I loved how their support team communicated with me professionally but still kind. I know that I can contact them whenever with whatever question I have. Recommended!

James Smith

Multiple locations options

I run an agency. The majority of our clients are in different countries. I love that DANIAN has 20+ countries and I can spin up any app in any location. This gives us the freedom to focus on our clients. Sure, I can employee a dev in my team, but honestly, I prefer to not have those headaches. With DANIAN everything is running 24/7.

Edward Nelson

Everything just works!

My focus is on my business, not running servers. I love that I can lauch any app without having to think about the tech behind it. Everything just works!

Tony Roy

Awesome support team!

I signed up for the free trial in order to test Chatwoot. I needed to put a livechat widget on my website but I don't have much tech experience. I contacted their support to see if they can assist. They went above and beyond by generating the livechat widget code for me and inserting it in my website. They answered all my additional questions.

Filip

Very proactive!

Today couple of the videos on my Peertube got viral. Before I even noticed, their support have notified me via email that they proactively upgraded my app with more cpu & ram so that it continues to work without any downtime. They left the upgraded app with the added resources for couple days until the traffic stabilizes. After that I had the possiblity to stay on the same plan or keep the upgraded plan. Out of gratitude I stayed on the upgraded one.

Luke Hall

Win-win!

I run a web design biz. After I perform the work for my clients, they constantly ask me for more software solutions. So I partnered with DANIAN. Not only I provide the requested softwares for my clients and get the increased revenue boost by delegating all to DANIAN, but also for those clients that wish to order directly from DANIAN, I send them an affiliate link. Win-win on all sides!

Luke Walker

Flexible

For the past couple months I was running many apps with DANIAN for my clients. But one of my clients wanted a software that isn't on the current list. I talked with their tech support. They accomodated me and added the software the same day. The next day, I signed for their Partners program. We will go long way together!

Jeffrey Johnson

Awesome customer service

I needed to add analytics on my website but I didn't know anything about DNS. Their team guided me at all phases and they performed the changes for me. Additionally they were transparent and notified me of every change applied and steps performed.

Gabriele Marino

Good admin dashboard

Not only that I got Chatwoot, I also have access to the management dashboard. I love that I can view my hourly/daily usage and perform manual backups and restorations if needed. I don't need the level of control but it feels good to know that I have it if I need it.

Matthew Turner

Financially wise decision

Why install Chatwoot on a VPS that will cost me $20-25/month. Then worry about security, updates, backups, etc. Instead, I can activate it on DANIAN the same day for half the price. Plus, less headaches for maintenance. So happy I found out about this company!

Andreas Schmitt

Great service!

I configure custom Matomo tracking for my clients as a monthly service. Many of my clients were asking if they can selfhost Matomo instead of using the Cloud service. My employee recommended DANIAN. Basically, I can activate as much Matomo's in any of 20+ countries the same day. Additionally the affiliate revenue is a nice bonus.

Jacob Turner

Smooth experience

I was listing through youtube tuts on how to install Bookstack myself. Then randomly, I found their video playlist exactly for Bookstack. Got curious and went at their website. For the same price (or higher) that I would pay for just the VPS, with them I'm getting a fully managed Bookstack. It's a no-brainer decision!

Elias Gustafsson

I love opensource software

2 days ago I haven't heard about opensource softwares. Today I'm running 4 apps and enjoying the trip. Hey, 1 month later I may become a developer, haha just kidding. Love you guys!

Mason Hayes

Its a great service

Its a great service. I love the performance of my Mastodon community. It keeps on growing and I don't have any worries about backups, secuirity, updates, etc.

Vinícius Rocha

Very intuitive solution!

I wanted to use a nocode software for my company. A friend recommended them so I tried both Baserow and NocoDB, couple days later picked one.

Haruto Hashimoto

Top-notch security

Honestly, I don't care much about performance and functionalities. I just wish to not bother with hacking attacks so that I can focus on my firm. I recommend them!
