SaaS or self-hosted. Same product, same UI.

Foldr runs on our infrastructure or yours. The product surface is the same in either case, so you’re never paying for a stripped-down self-hosted build or a SaaS-only feature you can’t take with you.

SaaS

Hosted by us, in the UK.

The fastest way to start. Sign up, connect your existing storage, hand it to staff. We run the infrastructure, the upgrades, the monitoring.

  • 30-day free trial, no credit card
  • UK / EU residency for compute and customer data
  • Frequent rolling deploys, no scheduled downtime windows
  • SSO, audit log, activity export
  • Custom domains
  • Per-tier feature gates and limits

Self-hosted

Your infrastructure, your rules.

For estates that can’t send data to a third-party cloud, prefer to run a VM in their own datacentre or cloud, or want a fixed annual licence over per-seat billing.

  • Virtual appliance for VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox, KVM or your cloud account
  • Air-gapped installs supported
  • Bring your own AD, Entra, SAML, LDAP
  • Same Foldr Next UI as SaaS
  • No data leaves your infrastructure when cloud OCR and AI features are disabled
  • Document conversion, OCR and search included

Which one

Pick by what fits your estate, not by feature list.

Most teams decide on infrastructure constraints rather than features. A few prompts that usually settle it:

You want it running tomorrow with no infrastructure work
Foldr SaaS. Sign up, connect your storage, hand it to staff.
SaaS
You have data that legally cannot leave your infrastructure
Foldr Appliance. Air-gapped, on infrastructure you control, no outbound traffic required.
Self-hosted
You’d rather run a VM in your own datacentre or cloud account
Foldr Virtual Appliance. A VM image you import into your hypervisor or your cloud; boot it, configure it once, point staff at it.
Self-hosted
You’re a school or trust with a small IT team
Foldr SaaS. We keep it current; you don’t carry the upgrade burden.
SaaS
You’re an MSP standardising on one tool across many clients
Either. Most MSPs use SaaS for clients without infrastructure and the Appliance for those with strict data residency.
SaaS
You need a fixed annual licence rather than per-seat SaaS billing
Foldr Appliance. Annual subscription, sized to user count, no surprises.
Self-hosted
Switching later

SaaS now, appliance later (or the reverse)

Foldr’s configuration travels via Foldr Flow: shares, custom fields, templates and mashlets export to one file and import into the other deployment. Your files never lived in Foldr, they stay in your own storage, so there is no data migration to wait on.

Hybrid

Some teams run both

Larger groups sometimes run a self-hosted appliance for staff and a separate SaaS instance for partners or clients. Same product surface, two deployments, governed independently.
