I wasn't aware of that. Is there an open-source license available for non-commercial use?

No, kinda by (OSD) definition. See point number 6 here: https://opensource.org/osd > 6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor > The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research. So if you wish to restrict the use of the Software "in a business"…

Thanks for correcting me. I will change the license.

That's great, but not "open source". The "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International" license isn't.

If you want to prevent sb else to offer it as an hosted service without releasing source code, AGPL could work.

But sb could still sell your app by just distributing its source code along.
