There are currently 350 extensions available and the software is constantly working to add more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Piwigo Plans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are both free and paid versions of the sfotware. You can choose to host it yourself for free, for example with a host like InMotion Hosting, or you can choose to host it directly with Piwigo, which has associated costs after a free 30-day trial.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the self-hosted option, you run the software on your own web hosting, providing PHP and a MySQL database. There is no cost for the software itself, but downloads do not include hosting or related services. You will also need to update Piwigo manually when new releases are available to keep it fast and secure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the cloud-hosted option, you have the advantage of installation, updates, and backups all being fully managed on a dedicated infrastructure that was tailor-made for Piwigo. Additionally, this option also includes dedicated support and removes all ads from the application.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cloud-hosted option offers plans for both individuals and enterprises.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual plans are reserved for private users, associations with a single employee, and one-person companies. Enterprise plans have no limits on the number of files or users<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The individual plans range from 1-3 years, while the enterprise plans are billed based on storage with options available from 50-1000 GB and all billed annually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you go with the cloud-hosted option, you can choose which plan you want once your free trial period has ended.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter which option you choose, it\u2019s completely free to try out Piwigo so you can either download it or do a trial run of the paid version to see if it\u2019s right for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help finding good images?
