Hei! If you want something simpler and more unique, check out Flarum. This is lightweight forum software that is mobile-friendly and fast.

Just like bbPress, there is another WordPress based forum which is BuddyPress. Both are dependent on WordPress, though. Also, NodeBB is another open source forum software which is based on Node.js.

Discourse is 100% free, open-source forum software only if you set up and manage your own hosting server. Managed forum hosting comes at a price, however, you can apply for free hosting if you run an open-source project, as clearly indicated on the Discourse official site.

Hello,

The discourse forum is not free and is pretty expensive because the prices are per month. :)
