Seemed interesting until I got to the part where it won't be free, and there's no pricing or licensing information. Why isn't that on top?

Once more information is available I'll probably be interested.



It's free at the moment, so feel free to try it. We will announce pricing and licensing in advance, so there'll be enough time to decide whether or not to keep using the tool.


Sorry, but I've been there done that. "Here, just try it for free", they say. "What harm can it do?", they say. "Licensing costs will be basically nothing", they say. "Trust us", they say.

So I try, and I like and I get used to it and then they start with "Oh you wanted to use that one really useful feature, That will be $5000 extra. Oh, you're running on Solaris, that will be $10000 extra. Oh you have more than 2 CPUs, that will be $20000 extra. Oh you want to use it Thursdays as well, that will be $30000 extra".

So now I never ever try software until I've seen a complete price list.


Fair enough.

Wallaby.js will be less expensive than some similar commercial solutions for other languages.

In any case, feel free to sign up and to receive the pricing info as soon as it's available.


So judging by other comments on this article the price ceiling is set at $160USD :-)


He said " less expensive than some similar" software, not all similar software. So for any given price point all they need is someone somewhere selling something similar for more.


Well, SBT has this built in. For free.


I also missed that at first, and was disappointed. Hopefully the pricing will be reasonable enough because I'm very excited about this - just waiting on VS integration


We will most likely have a subscription model, so the tool will be very affordable to start using without any significant capital investments. We didn't put the pricing section on top because there's no pricing yet. The section is right next to the download one, so hopefully those who download - see it.
