> On top of all that, the All Products Pack and dotUltimate subscriptions will now come with AI Pro included.

Well, colour me surprised. I've used JetBrains as an an example of a pretty decent company in the past (e.g. the way they remind you your subscription is up for renewal a couple of months in advance, so you have all the time in the world to unsub if you like), but I wasn't expecting them to just add this to the existing subscriptions.



you can read this as no-one was buying the addon

they'll eat the cost for a year or two, then bump up the subscription price to pay for it


I honestly doubt that’s the plan.

They’ve bumped up the price once in all the years I’ve been subscribed to the All Tools pack. When they did that, they gave existing subscribers the option to buy two years’ subscription at the old price.


Yeah, JetBrains has so far been incredibly good to their users, and it sure seems like they know that that has been their primary competitive advantage in a landscape dominated by free editors. Hopefully that calculation stays the same in the AI world.


I did;) unsubscribed every second month and resubscribed to see if it got better. now included, nice!
