Hello, I would like to know if Dataverse has any cost for support service or any external service that Dataverse depends on
Hi! The software itself is free and open source.
If you want DOIs, you will have to pay a fee to DataCite.
If you need technical support, you can either ask here (many from the community hang here all day) or ask the GDCC (Global Dataverse Community Consortium - website offline right now) to help hire someone for consultancy.
As far as I know up until now there is no commercial support service available.
Right. No commercial support that I know of.
https://dataverse.org/contact has a pretty decent summary of the situation.
