It is all there. So Zulip is 100% open source. There's nothing that we're locking away from self-hosters. If you self-host, this is the one thing that... So we do offer paid plans for self-hosters. You don't have to sign up for one, but they're on offer. And the kind of two major things that we're providing with those paid plans. So one is mobile push notifications, right?
