What Each Category Costs, and Whether Open Source Covers It
Two measures per category, facing each other. On the left, what one product in that category costs a year. On the right, how often an open-source version exists at all. Read down the page: what a category costs says nothing about whether open source has reached it (Spearman ρ -0.05). SEO marketing is the dearest at $528 a year and finds a way out 55% of the time.
