It’s been a wild ride, and I want to share why we made this decision.
One year ago, we were struggling in the crowded access gateway space. Our tool already was the #1 product, but adoption was slow. We knew we had to do something drastic. That’s when it hit us – what if we went all-in on transparency?
We spent months debating and planning. Lots of sleepless nights, I’ll tell you that! Last week, we finally took the plunge. It was a gradual process:
• Free SaaS plan
• Free self-hosted
• Free open-binary
• And now… fully open-source!
It hasn’t all been smooth sailing. We’ve had to adapt our business model and rethink our value props. But the momentum we’ve gained is incredible! Surprise outcome: Our open-source features now beat the enterprise plans of all our competitors. Talk about a plot twist!
Here’s the project if you’re curious:
