## General
__Why is the Insiders version offered as a subscription model?__
> We started Material for MkDocs years ago as an open-source project, available
for free to everyone. As the project grew over time, we found that maintaining
and managing the overhead became more challenging and time-consuming. To sustain
the project and create additional features more frequently, we decided to create
the Insiders edition, a paid and larger version of the community edition with
more features. This monthly-subscription-based model of the Insiders edition
allows us to dedicate more time and resources to the project – and benefits both
the community and the Insiders users. Once our funding goals based on monthly
subscriptions are met, the Insiders features of that funding goals are released
to the community edition, letting everyone benefit from them once again.
[__Why is the Insiders edition offered as a subscription model?__](#why-is-the-insiders-edition-offered-as-a-subscription-model){ #why-is-the-insiders-edition-offered-as-a-subscription-model }
Material for MkDocs always was and will be Open Source, available for free to
individuals and organizations. As the project grew over time, we found that
maintaining and managing the overhead that comes with growth became more
challenging and time-consuming.
In order to sustain the project and add new and useful features more frequently,
we decided to create the [Insiders] edition, with early access to the latest and
greatest features of Material for MkDocs. The subscription-based model of the
Insiders edition allows us to dedicate more time and resources to the project,
which benefits all
users of Material for MkDocs. Once our funding goals based on monthly
subscriptions are hit, the Insiders features of those funding goals are released
to the community edition, letting everyone benefit from them.
Maintaining both the community and Insiders editions is an ongoing process, and
we rely on our sponsors to support us on a monthly basis, which makes this whole
project possible.
__What features are included in the Insiders version?__
> The Insiders version includes 20+ additional features. You can find an
overview of these features on our [Insiders page].

The Insiders edition includes more than 20 additional features. You can find an
overview of these features on our [Insiders page], which is updated when new
features are added and released.
__How often is the Insiders version updated?__
> Both our repositories, the community edition, and the Insiders edition, are
constantly updated, fixing bugs with high priority, and frequently adding new
features.

## Sponsorship
__Can I sponsor the project without a GitHub account?__
> Absolutely! You can support Material for MkDocs by sponsoring us on [Ko-fi],
regardless of whether you have a GitHub account. However, please note that we
currently manage all access to the private Insiders repository through GitHub,
as it is hosted on this platform. If you'd like to gain access to the
repository, you'll need to have a GitHub individual or bot account that can be
added as a collaborator. If your organization doesn't use GitHub or/and host its
repositories on other platforms, you can mirror the Insiders repository in your
environment once you have access.

Yes. You can support Material for MkDocs by sponsoring us on [Ko-fi], regardless
of whether you have a GitHub account or not. However, please note that Insiders
is provided as a private repository on GitHub. If after sponoring, you'd like to
gain access to the repository, you'll need to have a GitHub individual or bot
account that can be added as a collaborator. If your organization doesn't use
GitHub or/and host its repositories on other platforms, you can mirror the

The sponsoring tiers are divided into non-commercial and commercial tiers. If
you are an individual using Material for MkDocs for private or
__non-commercial__ Open Source projects, you have two tiers to choose from,
depending on the number of sites you want to build. For organizations using
Material for MkDocs, we offer three different __commercial__ tiers, from which
you can choose depending on your requirements.
__If I sponsored with a one-time or custom amount, can I access the Insiders version?__
> No, please note that a minimum of $15 for [The Individual] tier per month is
required to become eligible for Insiders. While [GitHub Sponsors] also allows
sponsoring with lower or one-time amounts, access to Insiders is only granted
through ongoing sponsorships, with the minimum monthly amount being 15$ or
higher due to technical reasons.

Mainly due to technical reasons, that might be lifted in the future. We use
GitHub webhooks to determine our current active sponsors. When you create or
cancel your monthly subscription, GitHub sends events that we use to
automatically add and remove collaborators.
Note that [$15] is the minimum amount to be granted access to Insiders.
