Free for 3 means 3 free full developer licenses for all editions of RTC. The RTC Express-C server is truly free. You get agile planning, scm, work items, continuous build integration, customized project dashboards and a customizable out of the box scrum process template with 30 built in reporting viewlets. To add additoonal licenses to RTC Express -C or Express is $1,260 / developer. Read access in RTC is completely "free" in all editions. You can outfit a team of 10 developers with Express-C for less than $900 a developer seat. Maintenance for year 2 and beyond woul be about $180/developer/year. Also, read access is free you could have anyone view work items or a project status dashboard without incremental cost. Try it and see if it doesn't make your development team more aware and improve communication and traceability. Especially if your teams are distributed....or working from home.
