When it comes to hosting, a self-hosted option is hosted by you. You can choose the hosting provider, like Amazon, DigitalOcean, Linode, or your own server, and host the BCMS instance on your own. In that case BCMS is free, and you’ll just need to cover the hosting price, which depends on the provider you choose.
With the BCMS Cloud plan, everything is hosted on our BCMS cloud, so you don't have to worry about setting up and scaling your servers.
The other difference is related to the number of team members you can have in your instance. In a self-hosted version, it is you and one more person. In the BCMS Cloud plan, it is you and 19 more people.
You can see full comparison of the features in the table above.
