Starts at $19/mo per instance.
One plan buys one dedicated Forgejo instance. Pricing is not per seat, so adding developers does not start a seat-count negotiation.

Migration should not be the blocker.
Move from GitHub, GitLab, or self-hosted Forgejo without retraining developers on a new source control model. Fjord keeps the instance standard and the cutover practical.
- ✓GitHub and GitLab repository imports
- ✓Self-hosted Forgejo moves stay Forgejo-shaped
- ✓Git, SSH, API, and web workflows remain familiar
- ✓Migration assistance for larger cutovers
Why not self-host?
Self-hosting gives maximum infrastructure control. Fjord is for teams that want standard Forgejo without owning upgrades, TLS, backups, runners, restores, and incidents.
Why not GitHub?
Use GitHub when its centralized SaaS ecosystem is the priority. Use Fjord when you want dedicated Forgejo, per-instance pricing, and an open exit path.
Why not GitLab?
Use GitLab when its all-in-one platform is the priority. Use Fjord when you want a smaller standard Forgejo surface operated for you.
Can I leave later?
Yes. Use Git remotes, the Forgejo API, repository exports, or request a full forgejo dump.
Will I still use standard Forgejo?
Yes. Fjord runs upstream Forgejo, so standard Git, SSH, API, web UI, and Forgejo-compatible workflows work.
Who owns my data?
You own your repositories, users, issues, and metadata. Fjord operates the service and does not use customer content for AI training.

| Option | Best for | Facts | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fjord | Dedicated upstream Forgejo, operated for you. | Per-instance pricing. No shared Forgejo database. Export paths stay open. | Create account |
| Self-host | Teams that must run the forge on hardware they own. | You operate upgrades, TLS, runners, backups, restores, and incidents. | Compare self-hosting |
| GitHub or GitLab | Teams that want broad ecosystem defaults and centralized SaaS. | Not standard Forgejo. Pricing, data model, and exit path differ. | Compare options |
Managed Forgejo hosting FAQ
How long does migration take?
Small teams can usually create an account in minutes and migrate repositories the same day. Larger moves depend on repository count, CI, and cutover requirements.
Can I move from GitHub or GitLab?
Yes. Forgejo imports repositories from GitHub and GitLab. Fjord can help plan larger cutovers so teams can move in stages.
Can I move from self-hosted Forgejo?
Yes. Because Fjord runs upstream Forgejo, developers keep familiar Git, SSH, API, and web workflows.
Can I move later?
Yes. Fjord runs upstream Forgejo and keeps export paths open through the API, Git remotes, and full forgejo dumps on request.
Do you support Actions?
Yes. Forgejo Actions are supported. Team and Pro can add dedicated Linux runners at $29/mo each within plan limits.
Can I use SSH?
Yes. Standard Git over SSH works with your managed Forgejo instance.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Custom domain support is part of the managed forge plan model and should be planned before production cutover.
What versions of Forgejo?
Fjord runs standard upstream Forgejo and handles upgrades as part of the managed service.
