"Your product is awesome. It's exactly what will change the world of programming and community editing."

"I've prototyped enough of a collaborative environment to know that local editing is the key, introducing a potentially nasty merging problem if two people's edits clash. I believe UNA solves this well... I wonder if this is a Clayton Christenson-style disruptive innovation. The elements seem to be in place. The basis of competition is shifting from individual productivity to fine-grained, real-time collaboration."

Licensing & Pricing

cd_1

UNA Collaborative Edition is licensed as a standalone package, in one of two flavors: Infusion and One Shot. Both flavors require that you have your own computer to host UNA Server, although if you do not have one, we have partnered with PowerVPS to provide you with one for $150 USD/month.

The differences between Infusion and One Shot are summarized below:

Flavor Infusion One Shot
Cost $300 per concurrent user $25 per concurrent user
Summary The Infusion license is a lifetime license on a particular major version of UNA. All minor updates are free of charge. It's backed by priority phone and e-mail support, free installation and configuration of UNA Server, and a free consulting session where we setup UNA for your development environment, and show your developers how we do real-time collaborative development. The One Shot license is a lifetime license on the current version of UNA. One Shot licenses are supported through the Community Forums, although because most updates are not included with the One Shot license, we recommend purchasing the license only if UNA Personal Edition runs without issue on your computers.

"UNA is a special platform... I usually hate group collab on code and design because the communication and miscommunication gets in the way. UNA is different because the collaboration is weirdly seamless and actually real-time - you all see the same things, you chat inline, code completion just works, everything is tracked, and never once does the group feature take precedence over just coding."

"He worked from his computer halfway across the country from me, and I worked from mine, and it was just as effective as if we had been in the same room... To me, this was unprecedented, since it cut coding time by at least half. We were able to check each other's code as it was being written, so debugging was no problem at all."
