Our model: free contributions

Tenzu is not a subscription-restricted platform. Instead, our financial model relies on free contributions from our users.

With us, you have the power to decide on a pricing that suits your budget and requirements.

No matter whether you are an individual contributor, a small business or a large corporation, you can select the contribution option that suits you best while enjoying the same features as everyone else.

This approach is based on mutual trust: everyone participates according to their means, to build a sustainable and equitable solution together.

Our costs

Tenzu isn't free. We incur monthly infrastructure and staff costs for hosting the SaaS, as well as for maintaining and evolving the software. Tenzu is our one and only business.

By using our platform, you can contribute directly to its financing. Your support is essential; instead of taking out a traditional subscription with a competitor, if you find our software useful, please consider making a free contribution!

We are committed to publishing an annual financial report that transparently details the funds obtained and how they were used.

Our structure

The long-term viability and sustainability of this approach is ensured by our business model.

As an independent cooperative, we have chosen not to sell our project to investors, in order to guarantee the reliability of our commitments.

This model ensures that our decisions are made to meet the needs of our users, rather than to maximise external profits.

In order to minimise our costs, we also keep our staffing requirements to a minimum. As we don't sell anything, we don't have any sales or marketing staff. By remaining a small team, we also eliminate the need for managers.

Every team member is directly involved in building Tenzu.

Dedicated instances and support

If you require specific support or outsourcing services, we can connect you with our network of partners.

Tenzu's official partners are in direct contact with us. This means that you'll benefit from quality customer service and professional guarantees, as well as the support of the team behind the software.

Only Tenzu partners are permitted to market services using the Tenzu® trademark (see our Trademark Policy).

A list of Tenzu partners will soon be available here. In the meantime, if you are interested in a service or in becoming a partner, please contact us!
