Did you guys also consider Fluxer? I tried Stoat first, but the main instance is really slow and there are some video features disabled due to high cost. Which is totally fair.
Fluxer seems to have more features and their main instance is a lot snappier. They’re also accepting donations via Plutonium. Which seems to be helping with the server costs.
Both are AGPLv3, with Fluxer recently saying they’re gonna remove their CLA so that it’s true Open Source.
Stoat seems to be the one my friend group is most interested in, currently I’m waiting to see which one is better in the next couple of months or so.

They are selling a subscription. It isn’t really a donation if you pay a set price for services.
I’d also hold out to see their federation implementation before considering them as viable as matrix.
They do seem better than stoat, though.
Stoat has to fix their self-hosted version before I’ll touch it again.
