If you are building a commercial product and 590$ is too expensive, I feel sorry for you. In western countries you could get at most 2-3 man days for that money, I highly doubt that even the best coder could implement Highcharts in 3 days and provide support for it afterwards. If all you want is one or two simple charts then I agree, it is a waste of money to buy something like Highcharts, but if you really need most…
Every page on that site returns a 200 status code, and the same content as the homepage.

2) If you're bootstrapping, every penny counts.
3) It's not $590, it's $1500 (or more).
