Another plot.ly pushing their freemium product via Github? No pricing on the homepage yet. Will come later, after enough people integrated it in their projects.

- lmeyerov 9y agoWe're more complementary to Plotly & D3 than competitive. As an analogy for our developer API layers, we're closer to Google Maps than say D3 geo. Data tool teams shouldn't have to sink so much time on building out all the little interactions, just some configuring & skinning, and then back to data engineering & analytics. The result is we're getting embedded side-by-side. E.g., drop us into your Splunk/ELK dashboard that already does the basic charts. Or pilot our visual investigator, and get a direct visual exploration interface through a variety of connectors. In terms of paid vs. unpaid, we're a pretty transparent team. We're iterating on a sustainable pricing model for enterprise investigation teams, advanced analysts, and developers building internal investigation tools. I don't believe in charging source developers, research scientists, non-profits, etc., and we'll be making our ongoing outreach work with those kinds of folks into a more formal program. We have been and continue to be serious about community-minded open source contributions. Our team has contributed research that helped shape the modern web and leads open source projects that power a lot of tools used by the HN community today. Just this week, we released some work as part of the GoAI / Apache Arrow project, and that is part of our ongoing efforts to bring real GPU compute to the web world. Maybe a good time to write -- we're hiring!
