I hope code search will one day be offered at a lower price, so small/medium sized companies can use the product. I'll never be able to convince someone to buy it when it's 3 or more time as expensive source code hosting, and would in many cases be most expensive SaaS product per developer seat that the company uses. But it's a great product.
I feel the same way. It’s really interesting and provides cool insights. But it seems hard to explain to myself to spend more on that than GitHub or IDEs.
I’d like to hear more about the value customers get out of it as I wonder if it’s just groups with unlimited budget.
> $9 to $20 per seat seems pretty average in the grand scheme of SaaS price modelling.
"SaaS" is not a feature; you can’t compare products just based on the fact thay they are "SaaS". Gitlab for example brings me far more value than a tool to search my codebase; I wouldn’t put the same amount of money in both.
