What's Ionic's real business model?
They have enterprise support version but my gut feeling is that they make more money on the tooling.
- yesimahuman 7y agoIt's a combo. While we offer support and advisory services to medium-to-large enterprises, increasingly companies are deploying our native solutions for local app security (https://ionicframework.com/identity-vault https://ionicframework.com/identity-vault) or our Mobile DevOps service that has seen a lot of growth recently (https://ionicframework.com/appflow https://ionicframework.com/appflow). Finally, our new Studio product has been growing very quickly and will be getting a lot more "low code" dev features in 2020 (https://ionicframework.com/studio https://ionicframework.com/studio). Those products are sold on a subscription basis, either yearly w/ multi-year contracts for bigger companies, or on a self-service basis. If you're curious I did a 2019 business update with more details: https://ionicframework.com/blog/ionic-2019-business-update/ https://ionicframework.com/blog/ionic-2019-business-update/ At a high level we are generating real revenue, growing > 100% y/y (and our enterprise business is ~1.5 yrs old), and nearing profitability.
