#3We've been trying to answer the same question. We found that giving a free option forever has worked best for us so far. Free to start and free to use as your company grows.

#4Great story and all, but please add some navigation links to your blog post template. I had to open a new window and type in your URL (http://gemba.io for those reading these comments) to learn what your product really does. The tag line certainly grabs attention, but at least link the logo/text in the header to your top level page.

Sigh... I wish I had seen this about 2 years ago. Not so useful for me anymore since moving away from native app development, but that graphic of the manual QA process made me groan.

Definitely -- its a true story and anyone in QA knows that pain -- we've had a great response so far.

Uhm, duly noted and fixed. Thanks!

For Gemba, this could mean limiting the number of connected Git repositories. I decided against this because:
(1) some new users try out Gemba with a test repository, and needing to remove it to free up a slot for the "real" repo seems like unnecessary friction;
(2) some designers work full-time on a single product (e.g. in a startup) and would get loads of value (pushing hundreds of assets) for free and might never need to unlock unlimited repos.
Thoughts?
