Nicely communicated. Everything that JetBrains does around their pricing and subscription model always feels really fair and classy to me. (perpetual fallback licensing, continuity discounts).
In this case, being completely upfront in the post title that this is a price increase, no "Updated pricing" or "Revised pricing" etc. Reasonable notice period with an option to renew for multiple years at the current pricing before the change comes into effect.
- ochronus 4y agoThis, so much! I wish more companies/products would do it like this (sure, we can debate the actual prices, etc.)
- Aeolun 4y agoTo be fair, if a huge number of people renew at the current rate for 3 years that’s a nice war-chest for Jetbrains in the coming years.
- mrunkel 4y agoI just logged into my account, I can't see a way to renew for three years. The only option I have is to switch from annual to monthly billing.
- mike 4y agoOn https://account.jetbrains.com/licenses https://account.jetbrains.com/licenses if you click "Renew" for the appropriate product then on the next page, under the Subscription dropdown there should also be a "Purchase Period" dropdown. It's probably set to "Default" rather than "1 year", but can be changed to "2 years" or "3 years". Does that option not appear for you?
- mrunkel 4y agoThanks, I found it…
- topka 4y agoThis is strange. Try to go to check out and you should see "Purchase period" there. If not, please contact sales@jetbrains.com. Thanks!
- 202206241203 4y ago> During this time, we have introduced new products that have been included at no extra cost to everyone using the latter. It's like a landlord doing unrequested renovation and then sending a bill.
- samwillis 4y agoNo, its like a landlord doing renovations and improvements to keep up with the local property market and then putting rent up to match those improvements and maintain parity with the market. (with notice and options to pay old level for period upfront)
- dcminter 4y agoIt really isn't. https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206544679-What-is-our-licensing-model- https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206544679-What... I can stop paying and carry on using the product indefinitely. Try that with your landlord regardless of renovations!
- nightski 4y agoSort of. You can keep using the product version from when you last paid (the beginning of the sub not the end). So if you were annual then you actually have to downgrade to a 1 year old version. It's a really wonky system. I was pretty upset when they switched to it but I love their products enough that I gave in.
- lolinder 4y agoMore like a landlord doing renovation, feeling the budget crunch, and looking at the calendar and realizing "Oops! I forgot to raise rent in the past 7 years!" The price increase they're asking for is approximately equal to inflation from 2015-2021. They don't even try to include the last year's inflation.
- cyral 4y agoYou can continue using the old version without paying if you don’t renew, so it’s not really comparable at all.
