PassionStack

Subscriptions Add Up and Limit Control

Microsoft 365. Google Workspace. Dropbox. Zoom. Slack. The monthly fees for cloud services add up fast, and you're paying forever for tools you don't fully control.

What happens to your data if you stop paying? What happens when prices go up—again? For many organizations, especially nonprofits on tight budgets, these ongoing costs represent a significant drain on resources that could go toward their actual mission.

And there's another issue: your data lives on someone else's servers, subject to their terms of service and their security practices.

Build and Own Your Tools

PassionStack is a suite of self-hosted services that run on your own hardware. You get enterprise-grade tools—file sharing, document collaboration, password management, and more—without the ongoing subscription costs.

I set it up, I manage it, and you own it. Your data stays on your servers, in your building, under your control.

Why Self-Hosted?

Cost Savings

One-time setup plus affordable management fees instead of endless per-user subscriptions. The savings add up quickly, especially for larger organizations.

Data Control

Your data lives on your servers, in your building. You decide who has access. No third party can change terms of service or access your files.

No Vendor Lock-in

Standard tools with standard formats. Your data is always exportable. If you ever want to move somewhere else, you can—it's your data.

Real Results

A local church was paying hundreds per month for cloud storage and collaboration tools. Staff found the per-user fees frustrating, especially when they wanted to give volunteers limited access to certain files.

After migrating to PassionStack, they cut their monthly software costs significantly while actually gaining more flexibility. Volunteers can now access exactly what they need, and the church owns all their data.
