Every time that Neo4J is mentioned here, the pricing issues are raised.
No exception today: I used Neo4J at a previous startup, but after using the "free" non-scaled version of it, we got into a hard bottleneck due to a lack of scalability. When we looked to scale Neo4J, we almost had a heart attack when seeing the price. Being this a 50 people "developing country" startup we could not afford to pay the very steep prices.
- kkarakk 8y agodid they not offer a competitive rate when you contacted them based on your country's exchange rate?
- mikekchar 8y agoDisclaimer: I know nothing about Neo4J or their pricing structure. To be fair, though, niche products are often very expensive because there aren't many customers to pay for the development. If you have a million paying customers you can charge them $10 a year each and fund a reasonable sized company. If you have 5, then you need to charge them $2 million each ;-) Having said that, I tried to find pricing information on their website and couldn't find it. For me that's a sign of "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" level of pricing...
