As of this writing, the official page displays links to nine providers, and we have experience with another, but only four offer accounts for individuals to access [matrix].
Here is the breakdown:
These do offer accounts for individuals to access [matrix]:
- [ communick - Matrix ]: $29 USD / year after 14 day free trial
- [ federated - Choose Your Plan ]: $400 USD / year (or $60 USD / month), no free trial, 30 day refund
- [ Ossrox - Produktubersicht ]: 3.5 Euro / month, available only to users in EU or Switzerland
These do not offer accounts for individuals to access [matrix]; they only offer to set up a dedicated server for you, either on your equipment or in their datacenter:
- [ element - Pricing ]
- [ ungleich - E2EE ... MATRIX ]
- [ etke - Services ]
- [ datanauten ]
These providers should not be considered, because they are known to have either servers or web pages that do not work, indicating that they are "not ready for prime time":
- [ tchncs - matrix ]: Our account on the tchncs.de server cannot load the [ Matrix HQ ] room, while our matrix.org and communick.com accounts can.
- [ faircom - subscription ]: This page displays errors: https://shop.fairkom.net/product-category/fairmeeting-fairteaching/ . It was linked from https://www.fairkom.eu/en/1-subscription-2-applications
Review of these providers is pending:
- [ indie hosters ]: Appears to only offer servers. Review pending.
