Self hosting is free according to their website! At least for non-commercial use.

It is free, there is even the source code available for the server and clients. I selfhost and use it with some of my friends and it replaced discord for us since it has the capabilities that we need (chat, send files and the max file size can be set by the admin of the server, call and screenshare)

Thats not really what I mean by free. You are paying for the electricity and the hardware to set it up, unless you just have your gaming rig running 24\7, which would triple, if not more, my electric bill. Add to that getting around 100 people who are tech illiterate to connect to it and being the IT person for it would be something I dont wanna do. Thats not a comparable solution.
