what is the actual price? can’t understand how someone builds "Get Rider" button without communicating the price. Is it 500€ after the discount? Is it 10€? Who knows? But I’m not gonna start filling in forms (two next steps already ask me stuff without, again, telling me the price). Bizarre.

View on HN

i think i’ve probably missed out on so many amazing products, but i just immediately lose interest the minute a company demands my personal information before they’ll even tell me a price lol.

while demanding my information definitely doesn’t say anything about the quality of their product, it is for sure a red flag about other business practices.

Yes it is annoying, but I would not go so far as to say it indicates poor business practices. Jetbrains is a very well run shop and they treat their customers with a great deal of respect.

Here is Rider pricing: https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/buy/#personal

i.e. $52 instead of $149, for the first year.

Jetbrains has a great marketing dept if they can get a "65% off your first year license" to make the front page of HN.

Has to do with the fact that visual studio for mac is being discontinued. Timing is right hence the HN front page.

£41.65 a year plus tax. If you login to a jet brains account then it just gives the price.

No need to log in, prices are listed here.

I pay less for the full toolbox than I do for my spotify family account. I think it is about £12pcm, though that is with the 40% discount you get after 2 years of sub.

Gave me sth like 65 eur or $ annual license after giving my email.
