Developer tools
Editors, CI, package tooling and shipping code.

Add a productA category defined by workflow, not features
Developer tools are judged on how little they interrupt. The important questions are about integration: does it fit the language, the repository host and the pipeline already in place?
Pricing models to expect
Per seat, per build minute, per project, per gigabyte. Usage-based pricing dominates here, which makes the ceiling more important than the headline price.
Model the cost at your busiest week, not your average one.
Self-hosting
Many tools in this category offer a self-hosted edition. That trades a subscription for maintenance, and it is a real trade rather than a free lunch.
What to check
Run it against a real repository. Documentation quality and the speed of the first successful build predict how the tool will feel in six months.
