<span style="font-weight: 400;">DronaHQ has launched a developer plan that gives developers or engineering teams creator access to the low code platform for free. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, we are excited to announce the launch of DronaHQ’s free forever Developer Plan. With this launch, developers, citizen developers or engineering teams can build and test the power of the platform for free. The plan enables developers to design full-featured UIs, integrate APIs and connect to databases, test the app with live data and easily collaborate with other co-creators/app makers in their teams. Read on to learn a bit more about why we are so excited to launch this, or jump </span><a href="https://www.dronahq.com/signup"><span style="font-weight: 400;">right in to sign up for a free account</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span>
<h2><b>Why a developer plan make sense?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Developers are foundational to modern organizations and their digital journeys. The increasing demands on developers are only compounding the global talent shortage. Modern low code development tools that save time and improve overall productivity for developers are of top priority. And beyond self-serve options, developers seek tools that enable them to build flexibility, right from the start, and integrate across the software and databases in a secure environment.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">We spoke to many of our customers and well wishers and made the observation that getting quality development time to explore new tools within 2 weeks was tough for users and we had users asking us to extend their trials as chalking out dedicated time for evaluation was sometimes not possible. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was not enough for (a) the developers who, engrossed in daily tasks and projects, are exploring new tools so they can invest a small amount of time over a period, or (b) the managers/business users who are investing time, little by little, to make MVPs ready to showcase to users/ leaders, (c) users who need to get certain access permissions to internal systems and databases.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, we are fixing that and </span><a href="https://www.dronahq.com/pricing/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">launching one free developer plan</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">: $0 forever. </span>
