"Documentation on-demand" seems a great solution indeed!
Although $5/month per user is not cheap. I work at a medium-sized funded startup and I doubt it would be approved for overall use (as it would be nice to include other teams as well, like Marketing, Analytics, Customer Support).
It is the same price of GSuite, that adds a ton more value than SO for Teams could ever add.
- jonhmchan 9y agoSO dev here. Not sure your size, but your first 10 users are much cheaper. On signup, it starts at $10/month and includes the first 10 users. It's $5/user/mo after that. If you're much larger than 10 - creeping into the 200+ people, it might be better to go with Enterprise: https://stackoverflow.com/enterprise https://stackoverflow.com/enterprise
- soneca 9y agoThanks for commenting. We are 50 devs and it would be useful to have around more 50~100 in it. I always have the impression that "Enterprise" plans are more expensive, but probably is just a misconception of mine.
- Binarytales 9y agoYou should maybe talk with your sales team? I work for a 200+ organisation (430ish) and was told we are too small for StackOverflow Enterprise
- coryfklein 9y agoI just figured this out, but that's $5/month for _active_ users. So if you don't use it, you don't pay for it. Not exactly sure what counts as an "active" user though.
- coryfklein 9y agoAh, turns out that's just another word for "users". [1] https://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/367268/446554 https://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/367268/446554
- chatmasta 9y agoI’m not sure I would want to work for a company that thinks spending an additional $5 is not worth improving my productivity. How much do you pay an engineer per year? You can’t afford an additional $5x12=$60, really? This argument would make a lot more sense if it was $500 per month per dev, which some SaaS companies actually do charge per-seat for enterprise licensing plans. A $5 per user per month charge is actually an unusually low price for the enterprise SaaS market. In fact it’s even a low price for the individual developer market. Rarely does anything cost less than $9 per month... Sorry but that is just a ridiculous criticism.
- soneca 9y agoI think you just assumed a lot from a casual comment with no context.
- gowld 9y agoHow much does your startup pay for HR functions, Salesforce/CRM, internal webhosting, etc?
