Pricing

It depends. You can use it for free for personal projects, learning, non-profit work, etc.

If you're using it to make money, like in client work or at your company, then yeah, please buy a license or ask your employer to do it.

Please? Yes, I'm just asking you to do the right thing. It's a simple gentleman's agreement. I'm not tracking you or checking what you're doing.

There are no locked features, no popups. Just a small badge reminding you you're on the non-commercial version.

Because I want this thing to stay alive. The old DevTools were open source, but they were abandoned for years because nobody had a reason to keep maintaining them. I use Alpine.js daily, my own businesses depends on it. That's why I'm building this to last, not as a side project, but as something I rely on too.

Despite being commercial project, with closed source, you can still install the extension and use it for free. No paywall, no tricks. I trust people to support it if they're using it to make money.

Most Alpine.js users come from PHP backgrounds (Magento, Laravel, etc.), and this extension is not particularly simple TypeScript app, not based on Alpine.js, deep in browser internals, multi-layer events handling, background scripts, Chrome APIs etc. Not exactly something you'd casually fork and tweak on a weekend. So open sourcing it wouldn't really help much in practice.

Meanwhile, keeping it closed helps me focus on building features and fixing bugs, instead of reviewing random pull requests or dealing with noise. And it helps me prioritize support. If someone who just bought a dozen licenses reports a bug, that goes straight to the top, because I know they actually depend on it to get work done.

Yes. I use it myself every day. If people keep our simple trust-based agreement in place, it'll stick around for the long time.

Nope. Same as the old DevTools, this has nothing to do with the Alpine.js team aka. Caleb Porzio. It's an independent project.

If you're using the extension commercially, you'll need a license, there are two options:

Yearly subscription: This license auto-renews annually. You can manage your subscription and cancel anytime. License will stay active until the end of the billing period, so you can cancel it right after purchase, if you are afraid of auto-renewal.

Lifetime license: One-time payment. This license grants you access to the extension indefinitely, including all future updates.

Both license types allow you to have the extension active on up to 3 devices/browsers at the same time.

Yep. You can manage your activations right from the extension or your account. Super useful if you're switching machines or handling licenses for a team.

No, you only need an account if you're buying a license.
The extension itself is using only a license key, no login required.

I'm already offering a fair discount based on where you live. It's automatically adjusted using Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), so whether you're in the US, India, or Poland, you're paying roughly the same in real terms.

If you're buying multiple licenses for your team, quantity discounts are applied automatically too.

Need more than that? Honestly, just use it for free, I'd rather not have to deal with it, than make those few bucks more.

It should! I haven't tested every edge case yet, but full support is planned. If you run into issues, just let me know and I'll fix them.

Only anonymous usage info and crash reports, from inside the extension only, so I can fix bugs and improve the product. It doesn't touch or track anything on the sites you're working on.

Plenty of options:
- Report bugs directly from the extension using "Bug report" view
- GitHub issues
- GitHub roadmap
- GitHub releases
- Live chat on alpinejs.pro
- Ping me on LinkedIn
