Editor load definition: an editor load is counted each time an editor instance initializes. 100 users loading the editor 10 times each is 1,000 loads.
Froala tiers (annual subscription / lifetime): Professional $799/yr or $2,399 perpetual, includes 1 product and 3 domains, covers sites, CMS, and internal apps. Enterprise $1,399/yr or $4,199 perpetual, unlimited products and domains, covers SaaS, subscription, and OEM. The calculator selects the correct tier for your use case automatically.
About self-hosted alternatives. TinyMCE Community (MIT) and CKEditor 5 (GPL) are technically free to self-host with unlimited loads and users, but the open-source builds are bare-bones. Premium plugins and features (PowerPaste, AI Assistant, real-time collaboration, track changes, PDF and Word export, accessibility checker, spell-check pro, file managers, and more) are sold as paid add-ons on top, each billed separately. Froala includes 40+ plugins and features in every paid tier at no extra cost plus you can make your own plugin with the Froala APIs, so the comparison above represents a fair like-for-like against the cloud tiers most teams actually buy.
