#2I 'like' how instead of Pricing, the link to the pricing is ambiguously titled Plans, as if it were a link to their project roadmap instead of a payed service.

> Browse your packages and read their documentation just like on the public Python Package Index.
I don't remember the last time I read package information from pypi. It's all on Github or readthedocs or similar. And given that it isn't especially difficult to host your own index [0] or make docker images with all the dependencies pre-installed, I don't see how this justifies the price.
If it were available as an extension on Github or a self-hosted git server solution like GitLab, Gitea or Bitbucket, then that would be more interesting to me.

Perhaps I'm unusual in this regard, but in the context of software I'd interpret 'plans' as shorthand for 'pricing plans'. I certainly can't recall having regularly seen 'plan' substituted for 'roadmap' with regards software development.

Project Plan, Testing Plan, Upgrade Plan
"A plan is typically any diagram or list of steps with details of timing and resources, used to achieve an objective to do something. See also strategy. It is commonly understood as a temporal set of intended actions through which one expects to achieve a goal."

#6It says it mirrors PyPI. Does that mean I can use --index-url rather than --extra-index-url? The latter has some properties that make it less than ideal for private packages.

#7Nice work.
Obligatory question: how does it compare to DevPI?

I'd argue that you're playing dumb when you're saying that it's equally likely to interpret "Plans" in this context as any of the examples you mention rather than "Pricing Plans". Come on. Do you see a lot of similar pages that link you to their "Plans" and you end up in their public roadmap(s!) because they meant project plan(s!)? Or their testing procedures? No. Because landing pages are customer-centric.

Call me dumb if you want, but I was genuinely expecting to see a roadmap, because I would have never expected someone to try to charge for something like this.

Yes, you can use --index-url.
I assume you're referring to how --extra-index-url means that pip will randomly choose which index to try to install from, potentially installing a public package by the same name instead of your private package?
