Fider without the self-hosting hassle
Fider is open-source and free - but you need to host, maintain, and secure it yourself. Palmframe is fully hosted with zero DevOps.

The problem
Fider requires you to self-host a PostgreSQL-backed Go server. Updates, security patches, and backups are all on you. There's no embeddable widget.
Why choose Palmframe
- Fully hosted - no servers to manage
- Embeddable widget with Shadow DOM isolation
- Built-in sentiment analysis
- Public roadmap and changelog included
- Automatic updates and security patches
Pricing comparison
Fider is free to self-host but you pay for server costs ($5-20/mo) plus your time maintaining it. Palmframe is free for one project, Pro is $20/mo - fully managed.
