# Hotly

> Offer paid messaging through a hosted or self-hosted creator inbox.

Hotly is a paid messaging platform for creators and professionals who want to charge for access to their inbox. A creator shares a link, sets a price, and receives messages from paying supporters, prospective clients, or brands. Conversations stay in one inbox, where the recipient can respond on their own schedule. The service also supports locked photos that recipients pay to view.

Users can choose a managed hosted plan or run the open-source software on their own server. Payments connect through Stripe, while hosted plans combine a monthly fee with commission. The self-hosted version gives operators responsibility for their own installation and data.
