Why choose RestlessIDE?

In a sea of options, pick the right fish.

There are lots of giant corporations and well-funded startups out there all trying to compete for your attention and business. Here comes this site with delightful cartoon animals telling you that they can do a better job. Why should you give us a shot?

1. We’re Committed to the Open Web.

At RestlessIDE, we are trying to become the standard in web-based software development. This goes beyond just providing a convenient text editor. We want to enable new ways to work, where any Internet-connected device can turn into a workstation. Where you can see at an instant the current status of your codebase, FTP a file up to a web server if you need to, or touch up or rescale an image and you’re away from your office machine.

All of our product decisions go towards that goal, and it’s only going to get better.

2. Cloud Pricing is Busted...

Taking advantage of Cloud services used to feel like an epiphany. You get charged only for what you use, with very little up front. What can possibly go wrong? Plenty.

Deceptively low prices are quoted for usage patterns that don’t work in the real world. With many services, you really have no idea how much you’re paying by the end of the month. Everything is metered: How many hours you are online. How many users you have. How much storage space you use. What versions of a particular package you’re using. And somehow the prices always seem to go up. Multiply this by 10 different vendors.

…And We’re Fixing It.

Our pricing is very predictable. A single subscription price, and add-ons for each user and Host added to your account. Once you have a Host, you can fill it up with whatever you want as long as far as memory or disk space allows. If you don’t need a service or workspace right now, turn it off to save memory and it’ll be there when you need it. Need more space? Grab another Host. Don’t need one? Shut it off and it’s off your bill next month.

There isn’t any guesswork or additional cost for using the hardware you’re already paying for, whether you’re using it 10 hours or 720 hours a month.

3. We’re Not Going Anywhere.

The web-based developer tool market has been a little chaotic in the last few years. Some companies have been acquired and their products discontinued. Others have abandoned their original product and pivoted to another while overhauling their pricing. And everyone seems to be trying to rebrand themselves as “AI” somehow.

We aren’t really doing any of that. We built our tools for ourselves and use them everyday, since they solved real problems for us. Our vision is simple: Provide powerful open-source tools that let people work in more efficient ways than they can now, make them available at reasonable prices, and keep on adding more value to the platform over time. By keeping our costs low, we aren’t under any pressure to grow fast or show hockey sticks to investors.

We’re in it for the long haul and hope you’ll join us for the ride.

4. We’re Low Risk.

If what you’ve read so far has made you want to give RestlessIDE a try, it’s only $35/mo to get started. Pro tip: Your first month is prorated, so if you sign up later in the current month you can try it out for less. Just sayin’.

You can cancel any time and your account will close at the end of your current billing term. What have you got to lose?
