I really want to believe that the new startup price is the beginning
of having ad-hoc pricing for everyone, and hopefully in the future
we can also see "medium-size company prices" or
"freelancer developer licenses", but such decisions cannot be made
at the same time.
Once the new startup pricing is out, the company will analyze if it was
a good move, and evaluate special future offerings,
the new pricing will only fit to very very small business or single
developers, so I imagine that there won't be so many licenses sold.
analyzing this one year later could give the answer "it doesn't work -
let us stop it".
would be much better to change the limitations (increase max revenue) to
get a larger amount of new devs using this
also it would be a good idea to have license prices for medium sized
businesses, so everyone starting with small-biz-license knows what to
pay if he/she has success and grows with Qt.
I know some features are missing, but over all Qt is such a great
platform for mobile apps. Since QQC2 you can create cool and performant
mobile apps. (Looking forward to Qt6/QML3 where all is compiled to C++)
I'm speaking on dev conferences, demonstrating apps at conferences and
customers, writing articles for magazines. Licensing costs always was
the barrier for other devs to jump on Qt. Now with $499/year it's much
better to argument against usw of Xamarin, Flutter, ReactNative....
Hope TQC will adjust definition of small business and also provide
license for medium business.
