Are you aiming at developers as developers, or developers as employees who can put the company credit card details into your SaaS signup?
For the latter, you just need an honest service that would make their team's job easier.
A license for Sublime Text costs $70. I don't know how much money they make, but it's a popular product. The value perceived there is probably something like "I know it costs money to develop and maintain a highly polished, I'm willing to pay to support a tool I use every day, and I'm honestly kinda fatigued with all these ancient open source editors so take my money and give me a clean nice text editing experience."
- SyneRyder 11y agoSublime Text is interesting, in that you also get unlimited usage without paying. That was helpful at a time when I didn't have a lot of client work coming in, and it helped me bootstrap into better work. Once I had solid client work coming in again, it felt like Sublime had helped me get there, and Sublime suddenly felt incredibly underpriced, so much less than an hour's work. There's incentive then to buy it to make sure they keep working on it, to get rid of the nag screens that occasionally slowed me down, and it looks & feels far more professional when you're not using unregistered trials as part of your work!
