We actively evaluated Linen in launching our community. Although, we went with discourse as we are going for a forum type community platform but Linen certainly has fantastic potential. One very minor friction point with Linen was, it needs to be a bit transparent about their pricing for business tier. I don't think "contact us" pricing strategy is the perfect fit Linen's target audience.

Sorry about that. It was a vestige of Linen's first version being very Enterpise sales heavy and we haven't updated it. At the moment it is 150/month for 5000 members for our paid tier and 50/month more for every 5000. Will update it this week! We just shipped our self checkout flow last week: https://github.com/Linen-dev/linen.dev/commit/61c482cab5d5aa4fb3854cfbb89cfe5c85bab03e https://github.com/Linen-dev/linen.dev/commit/61c482cab5d5aa... Just hadn't got the chance to update it on the landing page yet

  Reasonable for enterprise, but that's pretty high for my tranche in small business. Any possibility of matching Slack pricing for super small (<20)?

    Oh yeah we're planning on introducing pricing for teams soon. Right now we've been focusing on communities. So will have something out for teams soon!

  Does that count active users? Or total users? Be a bit sad if you were perpetually paying for some rando that posted a message 5 months ago.

  Hmm, I feel like this could do with a different colored top bar. Making it look exactly like HN makes me feel more like ‘why not use HN then’?

      That is a feature, not a bug.
