If you do a true comparison in features, you'll see that a PHP-based solution (with commercial add-ons) costs over three times the cost of Lasso. Then there's also the (TCO) total cost of ownership where due to productivity gains in using Lasso, developers end up saving lots of time (e.g. money) compared with using other tools. Then there's also the fact that when you buy Lasso Professional 5, you're also supporting MySQL AB as each copy purchased puts money in their pockets. And, this is a good thing to ensure the future vitality (and growth) of the MySQL market. It also gives you peace of mind in knowing that you have a commercial license of MySQL, which can help ease liability and other concerns that may otherwise be present in certain organizations who may have concerns using just GPL products. Then there's the issue of quality. With Lasso Professional 5, no stone remains unturned with respect to ensuring Web developers have the highest quality offering both in terms of features, documentation, support materials and more.
