Some users say the various pricing plans are reasonable and appreciate the cost savings due to the software's efficiency and time-saving features. - **The pricing fair for the comprehensive features provided** And some users mention that the costs are within reason for the benefits received. Users think the pricing changes to focus on GB/min make Buddy more comparable to other systems like GitHub Actions. - **The intuitive UI/UX and the helpful support included in the plans** ### What holds them back - **Buddy's pricing can be steep** Particularly for small teams, freelancers, or those on a strict budget. They report that the cost increases significantly with the number of users, which can be a drawback for growing teams. - **Certain features are only available on paid plans** And the pricing model based on the number of users feels limiting. They also find the on-premise/enterprise version quite expensive and note that the middle tier pricing is high for startups. ## Price & value in reviewers' words * * * 5 out of 5 stars > "The most important thing is their support and they offer free plans too 😊" Reviewer: Benjir A.
