Is HP5 free or not?

I'm confused if HP5 is free or not. I thought HP5.org was free, but I don't see any options to create anything. I see now there is HP5.com, which is paid.

Hi jeljohns80,

H5P the software is free however hosting is not. You can either sign up for an H5P.com license or host your own contents using the free plugin: https://h5p.org/integrations#plugins

But I'm not able to create anything on HP5.org, so I'm confused how it works.

Hi jeljohns80,

To provide the best possible experience for new users and to ensure that people use H5P.org only for trying out H5P (we've had more traffic than our server can handle lately, ref also the warnings when you create content, embed content and view the content) there are limited content types that are available.

Check the getting started page for information on how you can use all the content types and use H5P for real. We unfortunately are not able to provide free hosting, only free software :)
