Discourse 是开源的，所以使用它是免费的。托管，无论是自行托管还是使用 CDCK，都需要付费。

搜索 `is discourse free` 得到这个：

> Hi everyone, I like how Discourse looks and would like it on my new, tiny personal site if possible. The main homepage for Discourse boldly says “Free” but every link I subsequently follow (like [this](http://blog.discourse.org/2014/04/install-discourse-in-under-30-minutes/) or [this](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)) talks about $10/month on a Digital Ocean server. Is it free or not? Am I missing something here? Thanks if you can help!

是的，它是。而且_事实上_是唯一可用的来源。
