That's great - Thanks Rich and Stu :-)

I am using Datomic on a friend's project right now. We will certainly use the Pro version, but a free edition will help promote the platform.

I have to say that the introduction of a turn of the century enterprise software pricing model is not a welcome thing.

I think the subscription model is a much better approach in todays market. In particular since I think Datomic's early adopters are going to be mainly startups and not larger enterprise customers.

Their initial hosted transactor model was a good idea as well. The problem I think was that it was hard to come up with a way of pricing it in a way that people could understand.

Here's hoping they will return to our add back either the subscription model or hosted transactor in the near future.

This looks like a cool product. Consider linking to your FAQ or including a blurb about what Datomic is in the announcement -- I had to go digging to figure out WTF it was as opposed to what it was compared to the Pro version. Cheers :)

The pricing (& "Get Datomic!") link is broken for me, forwards to https://sites.zoho.com/sitesetup?domain=datomic.zohosites.co... which opens blank.

I needed to copy link ( http://www.datomic.com/pricing.html ) & paste it.

I have no idea what Datomic does. This is a good page to reach new users.
