A DevTools platform undercuts AWS EC2 pricing by more than half, charging $2 to $2.50 for compute that costs $5 on AWS. The real draw isn't just the price but built-in automation like DevOps and CI/CD. Users convert to paying customers once they see reliable performance.

When it comes to DevTools, trust is the biggest thing. We're giving out a very small amount of compute so they can try it out. And when they feel like it works, then that's when they convert into enterprise clients. How many of those are coming to you because you're cheaper versus because they find value in the automation layer that you're providing? Most of them on the automation, but pricing does give us a benefit. If you go to AWS today and you want an EC2, you can get something for less, about $5. In our platform, if you were to get the same thing, you get about— it'll cost you $2. You're getting the DevOps automation, you're getting the CI/CD automation, everything included in just that $2.50 price mark.
