First off: Nice product that fills a real need, and nice design. Good work re-purposing what you've built with Beanstalk into it's own separate app.

My first impression of the price is that it's at least twice as much as it should be for only handling the deployment aspect of your project. You even state on the page that Beanstalk includes this PLUS hosting starting at $15 - nearly half of the price for starting tier for this deployment-only service. Additionally, services like Heroku and AWS Elastic Beanstalk that handle deployment+hosting are roughly the same price, give or take a few bucks. I guess it depends on your target market here with your pricing, but for the average developer, it's going to be too much.

It does much more than that. Some of the things: * Synchronization of changes through FTP/SFTP/S3/Rackspace Cloud Files * Pushing your stuff to Heroku, even for SVN repos * Release notes * Permission management for deployments for teams * Email notifications, atom feed for recent deployments * Automatic deployments on pushes/commits/commit commands * Integrations with 3rd party services, web hooks * Simultaneous depl…

The website says "70000" companies trust your product, with a list of the companies! Is that true? 70k company users already? Or is this something else being counted here?

Based on the phrasing, Beanstalk has 70,000 customers not dploy.io

Does it tie in with a CI server? We don't deploy unless tests pass

Nice that you offer it free to open source!

Can't believe that something likes this goes live without explaining which languages that is supported.

Developer here. This tool is uploading files to your FTP/SFTP servers or Heroku/S3/Rackspace Cloud, whatever language they are written in. dploy.io doesn't run your applications, sorry for the confusion.

Your most likely going to have to restart some webserver at the very least modify symlinks to ensure a synchronized upgrade. Maybe you do support this but you have to actually explain what your service does.

Also the thing with the pricing is bullshit just put that on the front page don't make people wade through a signup form to get information about your service.

Also don't put a stupid tick next to the password box and then reject it for being too short.

I've been using http://www.deployhq.com/ and have been very happy with it – it's a steal at £6/month. (Not affiliated, just a happy customer.)

Your concerns about landing page are valid and we are working on them.

I'm looking into the password box issue - thanks!

And dploy.io is a Beanstalk's deployment engine set free.
