Frequently Asked Questions

? Is motion.tools (Antragsgrün) hard to install?

Docker deployment is beginner-friendly (pre-built containers with minimal configuration). Traditional setups require PHP 8+, MySQL, and web server (Apache/Nginx) knowledge, but official docs provide step-by-step guides for both methods.

? Is it a good alternative to Cvent?

Yes, if you prioritize self-hosted data control and structured decision-making (motions/voting). It lacks Cvent’s advanced marketing or global ticketing features but excels at AGMs and meetings where transparent decisions are critical.

? Is it completely free?

Absolutely! It’s open-source under the MIT License—use, modify, and distribute it for free. Hosting costs (server/domain) are your only expense if you choose to self-host; no hidden fees or subscriptions.
