It’s pretty common to not show ‘Enterprise’ level pricing to the public. It’s all going to be different depending on the customer. For everyone one else, it’s free, awesome! What are you expecting to see?

It's totally ok not to publish the price, just don't name the page "pricing".

Cool. As the pricing page clearly states, it costs $0 for everyone who doesn’t need managed enterprise support. If you are the enterprise customer, fill out the form and talk to sales. Same way every other product ever works. We all appreciate your pedantic contribution to the conversation :)

Thanks for the feedback. I agree a demo would be more useful. We might provide a more comprehensive platform overview in a video format. Operating a hosted demo requires us to maintain it and manage it. People tend to post all sorts of things in those types of environments, and if it’s a shared install base, other users might see content that is not appropriate. We need to find a good balance here, it just something…

What about resetting it every day and put a warning that others can also use the demo/mess up the CMS? Thats kinda what I’m used to seeing anyway :)

Thats one possibility, sure. We'll evaluate the best approach when we get to setting it up. Thanks for your suggestion, appreciate it!

$50k/year seems like a steep price (thinking from a "small/medium startup" perspective). I'm curious, what's the TAM for that pricing? What sort of customers could you be reaching? I work for a mid-size company, we do very well, but Idk if we'd be able to meet that price.

Thanks for sharing this feedback. We got similar feedback from a few smaller businesses this week. We're looking into introducing a package between the free open-source and the enterprise. Would you mind sharing what would be your price range where you would find Webiny affordable? I'm happy to jump on a call and discuss this more. With the enterprise package, we're looking at companies with over 250 employees as tha…

oh wow, that makes sense. And impressive market research. How do you know there are 4M companies with more than 250 employees? I'm trying to do some market research for our project (completely unrelated to yours) and I have a hard time finding stats about the market.

Wordpress is a big success, even today, after more than 15 years in the market. I can only hope to get close to that, I'm by no means disrespecting that, nor the WP community. I started with WP myself. But if you ask me if I'm working on building a product that's better than Wordpress, I definitely am, will I succeed, that's for the market to decide.

I wish you the biggest success, it's much needed :)

BTW: My comment was for the "Low target" guy.
