Meh, not true.
I have a friend that wrote a very uninnovative, very shallow app a few years ago in a couple of months and barely works on it nowadays. He thinks he will make $60K this year and there are at least five or six different open source competitors (read last word as Daniel Plainview please.)
I could write something to replace it in a week or two.
Just make sure you know your audience: if you are selling to developers, you are probably SOL. If you are selling to managers, they really don't care whether they pay or not but it solves their problem.
- pkamb 15y agoWould you/he be willing to post a link to the app?
- cheez 15y agoHaha, no.
- knowtheory 15y agoSure let's try this again with some different language: It is possible to compete with free if your customer base has an incentive to use your tools. That incentive can either be that they don't want to figure out how to do it themselves (e.g. non-technical managers), or if you provide some sort of value added service on top of the freedom, e.g. your tools are nice to use/easier to integrate/enables someone to do something that wouldn't take more than a few hours. visitors.js clearly isn't this sort of thing, unless if you need/want accurate geolocation.
