What users say about IntelliJ IDEA's value for money

I love that you can use a free version that’s extremely capable and buy the paid for version for some extra useful features and integration with other services and software like databases.
It makes the whole process a delight for developers that don't have to care about integrating this tool with some others like builders or version controllers. All is already included here.

It is good in intellisense for supported programming languages. Its user interface for database is good.

What users say about PyCharm's value for money

The debugging features are top notch, also it’s GUI is awesome and responsive as well as highly customizable.
I love how PyCharm incorporates every useful functionality in a single IDE. Adding libraries is easy and intuitive, great debugging built in and the best code editor there is.
