three-fiddy it is! (Umur from Citus here)
I hear you, and we are working on fixing that even as it might take some time. The challenge for us is that for an enterprise, alternatives could cost literally in the millions (see Oracle pricing at $100k's for just a single 8-core commodity machine). For start-ups, we have offered Citus for prices lower than $5k per node in the past, and we provide an entirely free community version as well.
Essentially, our take is to not have pricing be what stops you from using CitusDB. And if you are an enterprise, the value you get from using Citus should far exceed that you'd get from any other alternative out there.
- sitkack 12y agoPricing is hard, especially on truly high tech product. It is always sold for less than it is truly worth, a hit you take for the art.
- justincormack 12y agoNo thats not really true, everything is sold for less than it is "truly" worth. Price discrimination works both ways, no reason to assume the seller will capture it all.
- sitkack 12y agoMost of the time when garage based uber hackers make a product they lose proportionally more. Not that this is bad, but higher tech doesn't mean correspondingly more profit.
- kofejnik 12y agoYes, it would suck to not capture the value you create, and I think you totally deserve to be paid very handsomely for this tech, of course. Oh, and please make sure to charge extra from the energy, finance and healthcare sectors. It's just that "please call for pricing" means a negotiation with a sales guy, which many people find uncomfortable, unless they work in corporate purchasing.
