Operating Costs
Every dollar, accounted for
GuildStack Labs aims to keep infrastructure efficient so the software remains accessible to as many people as possible.
100% of development time is volunteered. I don't pay myself — every contribution goes to infrastructure and reserves.
Total infrastructure works out to $2.52 per family, per year — industry apps charge 80–160× more.

Growth Over Time
Tracking our path toward sustainability
We'll reach break-even when monthly support covers infrastructure, fair compensation for my development time, and support costs. Current target: $1,000/month. Until then, Denly stays free, community-supported, and private — no compromises. The path forward depends on reaching sustainable support levels, not chasing growth.
A small percentage of users choose to support the project each month. Their contributions help keep the software sustainable for everyone.
"Denly is built to prove that essential family software doesn't need to cost $200/year. This page exists so you never have to take that on faith."
