You come across very defensive in this post which indicates that I maybe hit a nerve (or I’m reading it wrong). Either way, your enterprise stuff looks great but you give no indication of pricing and as a dev I’m not allergic to paying for things but I am allergic to companies who don’t have an “other than enterprise” story. I would happily pay you a monthly fee to get access to plugins that are better than the community dross available but you’re not interested in my business. I think Capacitor and Ionic are great, sadly Ionic the company leave much more to be desired. I once asked a question somewhere in the forums about a good plugin for something and the response was “hey, we don’t offer that to none enterprise customers but feel free to make your own plugin and share with the community” - sure, I’ll get right on that - if I wanted to be a native dev I’d be a native dev

Not defensive, apologies if it came across that way. I try to explain how Ionic is different because developers often aren't thinking about some of these non-technical/support things, but their boss or team leads might be. Everything is very "free" on the client-side of mobile but that has also created a situation where teams building really important apps aren't able to get any dedicated support or guarantees around maintenance, so we're trying to fill that gap. We've made our pricing more transparent recently and have added special plans for indies and startups that qualify as well. In particular we're trying to make more of our enterprise native plugins accessible for startups: https://ionic.io/pricing https://ionic.io/pricing
