Yes, you'll be able to purchase the commercial+business use license yourself. It won't be limited to companies.
Subject to change before launch, but initial plans are $8/user/mo: https://twitter.com/OrbStack/status/1656326409995055104 https://twitter.com/OrbStack/status/1656326409995055104
- _cenw 3y ago$100 a year seems pretty steep for a tool like this; to compare, that is also the price for Parallels Desktop.
- kdrag0n 3y agoDocker Desktop: $84-132/yr Parallels Desktop Pro (no resource limitations): $120/yr OrbStack: $96/yr Seems very reasonable, especially for a tool that does most of what Docker Desktop and Parallels do combined (but better in most cases), and it'll only improve over time.
- _cenw 3y agoExcept Parallels also gives you an entire desktop experience, including the maybe best Windows on ARM experience in existence (thanks to Qualcomm). That is a lot of utility. OrbStack just feels like an upgrade to (co)lima on the other hand that I'd get for the added comfort, nice GUI and marginal performance uplift (though props for having cgroupv2 dockerd). But not because it actually provides capabilities that I can't get elsewhere, from sources where I don't have to consider licensing and building my scripts on top of something someone might not be able to use. And I'm not sure the comparison with Docker Desktop is warranted. They're basically doing continuity extortion.
