I went full Netbeans for PHP. It does the job, the debugger works, and it doesnt cost me a yearly fee.
- sli 8y agoIt's gone up since then to $500/yr. It takes you two years before you get the $300/yr price again. By then you've already spent nearly $900, with the third year making it $1200. Android Studio is free.
- BonesJustice 8y agoI think you're looking at the pricing for Businesses and Organizations (the prices displayed by default). Those are floating licenses. Most individual developers would buy an individual license. Individual licenses for the All Products Pack start at $249 for the first year, $199 for the second year, and then $149 for the third year onward. Individual licenses can be used for commercial purposes just like a business license. AFAICT, the only difference is that a business license can be used by any single developer within an organization at a time, while the individual license can only be used by the named licensee. There's also a 25% discount for new/recent graduates, which eases the sticker shock a little bit for new graduates.
