I used Appcelerator to build my first app. I just loved the platform and started a meetup in my area recently because one did not existed. Before I built the app, I read the pricing page and went through their pricing FAQ and see that it was FREE if I dont use any of the add on features - and now I read this. I hope it turns out that there was just a shitty salesperson who was being over agressive and nothing else but I am sad to see that there is no clarification on pricing yet. Someone posted a link to an email chain with the companies sales person in that thread - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4600727/Learning%20TI/AppC_Pricing_e... - where the sales person made this statement -

AppC Explore – This is free for anyone who wants to create an app that does not generate revenue in any way.

Why is this statement not on the pricing page or even on Pricing FAQ page?

if i understand the CEOs comments correctly (which is not an easy thing) then this statement

>his is free for anyone who wants to create an app that does not generate revenue in any way.

is just not true (a.k.a. false). but in the current state of this affair, we do not know for sure (and maybe never will).
