I saw the pricing plan for TinyMCE, and according to that the free version comes with limitations in editor loads per month: https://www.tiny.cloud/pricing/
Is this correct?
Hi Will,
The version of TinyMCE that ships with Moodle is free to use and does not include any premium features.
You can buy a premium license which gives you some premium plugins from Moodle 4.3 onwards. That charges based on a number of editor loads.
The free version on their pricing page is if you want to include their cloud-hosted version in your own site. Moodle includes TinyMCE in the codebase so there is no need to do that.
Hope that clarifies,
Andrew
Thank you, Andrew!
This is very interesting, Andrew. I wonder if there is a trial period where we will be able to install the premium version, see what it adds, and then decide. (Oops, perhaps just answered this. Tiny website says 14-day trial of Premium.)
When I go to "pricing" I see Core, Essential, Professional, and Enterprise. Is the free version "Core?" And is it the Essential version that we will be able to add? It's a little pricy, at $67 USD/month. I am also concerned that Essential only provides 5,000 editor loads per month, which is confusing.
It seems to me that this could be a challenging implementation, keeping the premium version and extras somewhat separated from the free version.
Is this implemented in the current development version of Moodle 4.3, or on the demo site?

Any plugins which Moodle users need, can, and should, be developed as open source Moodle plugins. There is nothing to stop us doing that.
(Well, there was one thing that stopped me when I tried to make a TinyMCE plugin in Moodle. I could not understand the documentation, which seems to assume you already know what you are doing, but that is fixable.)
