kumu.io is our shared, globally-available instance of Kumu. It is hosted on AWS.
It is free to sign up and projects can be public or private.
When you join kumu.io, you join a platform that allows you to collaborate with other Kumu users around the globe.
The service is extremely secure. However, all customer data lives in the same database on the same servers. Customers that need additional security guarantees are encouraged to check out Kumu Enterprise.
Kumu Enterprise allows you to run your own private instance of Kumu. This instance can be hosted on-premise by your IT team using a hypervisor, or we can host and manage it for you in the cloud (including AWS GovCloud).
Kumu Enterprise has been designed to work equally well on a publicly accessible server or a standalone air-gapped kiosk.
Profits from Kumu Enterprise are used to support our community offering at kumu.io.

Public projects are visible to everyone and indexed by search engines. You control who can edit.
Private projects can only be accessed by authorized users. You control who can view and edit.
Additionally, Kumu's privacy policy prohibits staff from accessing private projects except at the owner's request.
Think of workspaces as buckets you can use to group related projects. Each of these buckets has a unique name and billing profile.
Projects are accessed using a combination of the workspace name and the project name:
kumu.io/workspace-name/project-name
Basic workspaces are managed by a single user and have access to Kumu's core features (including private projects).
When you join Kumu, a basic workspace is automatically created for you under your username. We call this your personal workspace.
Basic workspaces can be upgraded to pro workspaces for $10/month. This upgrade unlocks a number of additional branding, billing, and collaboration features for the workspace and all projects within it. See the pricing cards above for a detailed list.
Your professor has asked you to join Kumu for a course project.
You are told to create two projects capturing wicked problems you've personally experienced in your community. You do such an amazing job she asks you to keep them available forever.
Since both projects are public (free) and you're using a basic workspace (free) your monthly bill would be $0/month forever.
Request our student discount if the projects need to be private!
Your boss has asked you to map the commercial relationships of your three biggest competitors.
To lighten the work you invite a dozen coworkers to join too.
Since your boss is going to use these maps in a presentation to the board, you upgrade to a pro workspace so you can use your company logo for the loading screen and make her look professional. (The hourly backups and additional collaboration tools are nice too.)
You can't risk competitor data getting mixed up or going public, so you create a separate private project for each competitor.
Here you have 13 collaborators (free), working within a single pro workspace ($10/workspace/month), on three private projects ($20/project/month). Your monthly bill would be $70/month.
As many as you want!
Public projects are free and private projects are available for a monthly fee.
As many as you need!
Having lots of unrelated maps in the same project can be distracting and hurt performance though, so we encourage you to keep unrelated maps in separate projects.
As many as you need!
Public and private projects can both have an unlimited number of collaborators at no extra cost.
Pro workspaces only:
Restrict collaborator access to view-only or give them control
of the project by promoting them to managers.
We offer student / edu discounts! Just shoot us an email from your .edu address with a little background on what you're working on and we'll hook you up 3 private projects for free.
Nonprofits and community groups are encouraged to check out our postcard pricing.
We want to make sure Kumu is available to everyone that needs it. If you can't afford to pay our published prices mail us a handwritten postcard explaining why you can't pay and how your use of Kumu will make the world a better place. Thanks for being awesome!
