It looks interesting, but I wouldn't even download or use it for free, knowing I have to send out an email just to find out what the pricing tiers are (even for an individual user) and what is/is not included. Are you willing to publicly share that information?

Since you explicitly mention Sublime Text: their pricing is listed on their website and they have a clear 'Buy' button. Not sure why you would share that your pricing is similar and name a specific product, but also appear unwilling to display what the pricing and featureset is.

It is early days for us! We are not showing the pricing tiers because we don't have them. We jut want to put the free/demo evrsion out there asap, so we can gather feedback. Looking into it now, you are 100% right and it is unfortunate that we "appear unwilling to display what the pricing", it is not our intention at all.
Another weird thing that vendors do is requiring work email. I put my Gmail at internal.io, it wouldn’t let me sign up.

I found two competitors, signed up to both with Gmail and paying for one. Not my loss, doesn’t bother me.

What is the logic behind all these stupid rules? Money is money, customer is a customer whether they have gmail or some other fancy email, right?

I suspect they want to be able to contact your employer and say "$large_number of your employees use our software as individuals, here a all the reasons you should give us a fuckload of money for enterprise-ready best-of-breed annoyance^Wmanagement features".
