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]:

1. [ communick - Matrix ]: $29 USD / year after 14 day free trial
2. [ federated - Choose Your Plan ]: $400 USD / year (or $60 USD / month), no free trial, 30 day refund
3. [ Ossrox - Produktubersicht ]: 3.5 Euro / month, available only to users in EU or Switzerland
4. [ fairchat - subscription ]: Not reviewed due to difficulty of finding pricing and terms information.

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:

1. [ element - Pricing ]
2. [ ungleich - E2EE ... MATRIX ]
3. [ etke - Services ]
4. [ 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":

1. [ tchncs - matrix ]: Our account on the tchncs.de server cannot load the [ Matrix HQ ] room, while our matrix.org and communick.com accounts can.

Review of these providers is pending:

1. [ indie hosters ]: Appears to only offer servers. Review pending.
