No free version is simply stupid.
- mrweasel 11y agoPlease stop with the "I want a free version" crap already. It's $30, that's cheap enough that you can buy it, test it and then decide that it wasn't what you needed anyway.
- Toenex 11y agoIt's a barrier. From personal experience new technology adoption in a company starts with an internal evangelist. If you work in a company and need to go through a procurement process to buy something before you even get to try it, you are less likely to have a play and get hooked. In a space that is awash with at least free to try alternatives it makes it that bit harder to engage with 'that guy'. The trick is making money once the whole team is using it.
- mrweasel 11y agoI don't think that companies that have a procurement process is that same company that will buy a $30 CMS. We routinely pay $20-100 for software we may never end up using. It's a small enough amount that if it pays of the saving on internal development time easily make up of the next ten small investments that didn't work out.
