I would rate the solution a seven on a scale from one to ten, with one being the most affordable and ten being the most expensive.

The pricing varies depending on the version, and with three options available (Community, Professional, and Enterprise), you can choose based on your needs. While the enterprise version can be relatively expensive due to its comprehensive features, I find the license I currently possess to be reasonable, considering it includes the full suite without additional activations or charges.

Visual Studio Team System is expensive, but it is worth the money.

For setup costs, I suggest making Microsoft Visual Code the main tool for final testing before releasing it to the public. Subscribing to Microsoft Visual Studio will be quite expensive for a small company. Therefore, other teams can use open-source coding tools.

There is no cost involved. You simply download the solution.

The price of Microsoft Visual Studio could be lowered. For a single developer, it is approximately $1,000.

The development license for Microsoft Visual Studio is free. I don't know if there's a licensing cost to it.

Regarding the licensing, I don't manage that. The license is updated each time that it's required to be as the company where I am working, requires that. I don't know if the license is updated monthly or annually, however. It may be annually.

The company buys and pays for the product. I think our purchasing department gets a fair price for it. But the actual price is something I do not have any idea of.

I am not the right person to advise on the pricing and the cost aspect as I just develop solutions using the tool. Although I am not directly involved in pricing, I have heard positive comments about the licensing fees. When our subscription expires, the finance department takes care of it. The most basic edition of Visual Studio, the Community edition, is available free of charge which is oriented towards students, individual developers and small teams.

The solution has a community version, which is free. It also has a paid version, with a few more premium features, but the free version is still really useful.

The solution comes at a good price and, even though there are free versions out there on the market, I still prefer this product because I like its interface.
