The unfortunate truth (that I've had to learn the hard way as a founder) is that whole IT approval process is inevitable for any vendor indexing source code.
Even when I've tried to offer lower price tiers, ~every company of 20+ people puts a ton of bureaucracy in place before disclosing source code. Dealing with this bureaucracy has a fixed cost, so it's inevitable that many companies end up excluding the lower end entirely.

- morgante 2y agoCustomers who insist on on prem require the most support burden and hassles. Have you shipped commercial on-prem software? Nobody wants to do it for <$1k. It's miserable.
