| Sep 23, 2020 at 21:53 | comment | added | Shawn Eary | @KevinFinkenbinder - I guess you are right about there being a base price. I just wish the StackExchange community (in particular the SO crowd) wasn't so brutal... Thanks for clarifying!!! | |
| Sep 23, 2020 at 21:22 | comment | added | Kevin Finkenbinder | @Shawn Eary, the answer is also deceptive and therefor wrong. It says that it depends on XYZ, but does not mention that there is an annual base price. | |
| Apr 6, 2020 at 22:16 | comment | added | James.Oliver | @ShawnEary The problem is that StackOverflow has deliberately set up the situation that you need to get into a conversation with a sales representative not knowing at all what to expect, allowing the rep to gauge your naivety and charge accordingly. How much does it cost to get an ad onto StackOverflow? $500? $5,000? What's reasonable? What can you expect? It's an archaic tool used by sales of old to get as much cash out of a customer as possible. | |

| Nov 21, 2017 at 11:51 | comment | added | Tom | You lost my business - if you don't want to tell me how much it costs up front and make me work for it then I've lost the inertia to change the practices in the business to use a different tool. The setup feels sneaky and difficult. I don't want to have to speak on a phone - I can call a recruiter for that! And that's what I wanted to avoid with stackoverflow, which I'd assumed was adopting modern business practices. | |
| Jul 14, 2017 at 17:22 | comment | added | Pytry | I dislike salespeople and people with an attitude of a salesmen. If I have to talk ask what the price is more than once, I don't buy. | |
| Jul 11, 2017 at 16:05 | comment | added | canon | @Dónal don't you mean you don't have to bother looking into this service any further? | |
| Jul 11, 2017 at 8:35 | comment | added | Dónal | @AakashM this answer is useful to me, because now I know not to bother searching any further for the prices | |
| Jul 11, 2017 at 8:15 | comment | added | AakashM | Never was the "This answer is not useful" tooltip on the downvote button more appropriate... | |
| Jul 11, 2017 at 7:36 | comment | added | code_dredd | @JeffreyBosboom Even if someone can afford it, they should still ask about it. This idea that someone should go into a situation without a reasonable or accurate idea of what to expect is not smart at all -for the customer, that is. | |
| Jul 11, 2017 at 2:07 | comment | added | Jeffrey Bosboom | If you have to ask, you can't afford it. | |
| Jul 10, 2017 at 21:28 | comment | added | Dónal | Why not build a form that lets you choose the number of locations, amount of time, exposure, etc. and then shows the corresponding price? I can't believe this wouldn't be cheaper and simpler in the long run, so I have my doubts about the real motives for forcing people to speak to a sales rep, e.g. so stackoverflow can figure out how much they have to spend and then charge them that much. Sorry, but a lack of transparent pricing is a real personal bugbear. | |
