Updated Pricing Model For Zed Builds and Bugs Manager
As of August Hericus Software has introduced a new pricing model for Zed Builds and Bugs Manager. We've done this after a lot of thought and analysis in an effort to better serve our existing customers, and to also open the Zed platform to more software development groups that are interested in using Zed for continuous integration and task management within their group.
The new pricing model includes a tiered structure that follows the model of many existing Task and Bug management software applications on the market today. The idea is that as your team grows, Zed Builds and Bugs Manager will grow with you and continue to scale to meet your needs.
Unlike many others on the market today, however, the Zed pricing model includes an unlimited option for large teams so that you don't have to break the bank to use great software. Regardless of how large your team grows, you'll be able to use Zed to manage all of your continuous integration and task management activities.
The best feature of the new pricing model, in our opinion, is that the low end of the model (Free!) has been expanded. For teams up to 5 users, the main Zed server where your continuous integration builds are defined, and all of your tasks and bugs are tracked is free. Also lifted is the restriction on being able to use satellite servers with your free server. You'll have to pay for a satellite build server license, but that's it.
Also introduced, and heavily influenced by Balsamiq.com is our availability of free licenses of the server for do-gooders:
- If you are a do-gooder of any sort (non-profit, charity, you get the idea), email us with a short blurb and we'll send you a license, FREE of charge.
- If you are a technical/software blogger or journalist willing to write us up (honest reviews are the most useful to us) email us a short blurb with the link to your blog and we'll send you a license, FREE of charge, so that you can evaluate Zed Builds and Bugs properly.
- If you are willing to demo Zed Builds and Bugs to an audience of at least 15 people (at a user group, a conference, a BarCamp), email us your info and we'll give you two licenses, one for you to keep and one to give away at the event, FREE of charge.
- If you teach a high-school class, email us the name of your school and your class, plus the number of students in your class. We will send you a license that will cover you and all of your students so they can learn about continuous integration from the start.
Our existing customers tell us how much they like using Zed Builds and Bugs Manager, and we want to expand the experience to as many small groups as possible with the Free licenses. So, get in touch with us and we'll be happy to send you a free license for your organization, event, blog, or school!
