The EuroMakers Journal
European software,up close.
Deep dives into products made in Europe, stories from the makers behind them and guides you can use today.
Cinema 4D's shop is subscription
On 12 September the Maxon shop printed Cinema 4D at $839 a year, Redshift included. Monthly is $109. There is no perpetual SKU. The 14-day trial is Maxon One. Students pay $60 for a year of the suite, not for commercial work.
Ableton's trial is Suite
The 30-day trial is Live 12 Suite. Stem split, Max for Live, Operator. Buy Intro or Standard after it, open that Set, and saving and exporting turn off. Rent-to-own is Suite too.
Aiven's Helsinki Postgres starts at a hundred and ten
Pin UpCloud Helsinki and Free, Developer, and Hobbyist vanish. Startup is $110 a month, not the $75 on the generic table. Google's Finland region still sells Hobbyist at $19. The invoices are dollars. The processor is in the United States.
Scalingo starts billing when the trial ends
A trial needs a card. One app, five S or M containers. When the thirty days are up, the resources keep running and the invoice starts. They do not delete the app for you. HDS is a create-time flag: existing resources cannot be converted later.
GitGuardian counts a commit in ninety days
A contributing developer is a commit-author email that landed one commit on a private org repo in the last 90 days. Starter is free to 25 of those. Cross it, a 30-day trial; then private collaborative repos go dark. Honeytokens sit on Enterprise. EU SaaS is Frankfurt, not Starter.
Checkmk Raw is called Community
Raw is Community. Enterprise is Pro. OpenTelemetry is Ultimate and Cloud, not Pro. On 7 September the Euro cards billed ~3,000 services as 100 hosts: Pro from €190 a month, Ultimate from €275.
