> Jetbrains products are free for students, and paid for professional use. In my opinion, the pricing of the product is spot on. My company pays about ~200 euro per seat per year, which is a good price for the quality tooling you get. well, they're in violation of the licence if thats true. The 150€/250€ licence is for private people, companies have to pay 500€/650€. /edit: i guess non of the people that are responding to me can read. he specifically said that the company is paying for that and the price of non-intellij licences don't overlap with 200€ on any tier I can see.

Unless they're only paying for a single product ( vs the all products pack? )

    They never said IntelliJ. Pycharm is $199 USD for the first year for a corporation.

That’s the first year pricing, it goes down significantly by the third year. A larger company could potentially negotiate a discount on top of that. Each of their applications can also be subscribed to individualy as well, some for around 200 euros.

As far as I know you are allowed to use the individual license commercially [0], it is just that you cannot reimburse it from a company. I wonder where the line is and if you are allowed to use the individual license as a freelancer.

You can use it for commercial projects. The intent, though, is that only you can use that license of the product. So with my Jetbrains purchase I can work on personal projects at home, or (if corporate IT allows it, apparently they do here) install it on my office computer and work on corporate projects. But I cannot install it on a laptop at the office and walk away, letting others use that license.

They said Jetbrains, not IntelliJ. There are other products that are $199 USD for the first year.

You're missing something: larger companies can negotiate significant discounts when they buy in bulk. This applies even more for a product with negligible marginal cost.
