The first indication that we were wrong showed up immediately. As I already said, it was suggested that we should drop it to around $300-$500, but we set it at $250.

Moreover, we made the price even lower than people had recommended - just to be sure. We arranged it so that PVS-Studio would be oriented towards large companies, and CppCat towards small ones, for it would make no sense drawing customers from PVS-Studio to the cheaper option, would it? At the same time, the latter would completely satisfy the needs of small developer teams working in Visual Studio. After all, it is still regularly purchased by large companies, which proves everything is OK with the tool itself and its price.Īnd then we thought up CppCat. And we too were attracted by the idea of taking the path to a cheap mass produced product.īut we didn't feel like simply dropping PVS-Studio's price. We were told that we had been losing a large layer of developers, employed in small companies or working freelance/single. The flow of comments and emails made us start pondering the idea of making a cheap static analysis tool. Nevertheless, I'm mentioning 'Camels and Rubber Duckies' here, because people would refer to it as an argument dozens of times. As far as I read it, the article doesn't promise any success at all with the pricing policy described there. They were trying to talk us into lowering it down to $300-$500, and promised a long line of customers if we did, the agitators being among the first ones.Īt the same time, many would send us a link to the article by Joel Spolsky ' Camels and Rubber Duckies'. We received a lot of emails and comments, of people complaining that PVS-Studio's price was too high. It doesn't suit everyone but you never know until you try. It does work sometimes: the rapid development of App Store is a good example of that. Many books and articles preach the idea that you should make your software product inexpensive, but mass produce. But presently, PVS-Studio is being given the highest priority, while CppCat is ceasing to exist. For example, we are thinking of creating a static analyzer for C#, in time. This doesn't mean that we won't take up any new experiments in the future. We have failed, and decided to focus on our major project, PVS-Studio.

This was an interesting project, and an interesting marketing experiment. Our intention was to present to the world an intuitive and inexpensive static code analyzer for mass usage. CppCat was announced in January 2014: ' An Alternative to PVS-Studio at $250'.
