Thanks to its stability, cross-platform capabilities, and long-term reliability, I’ve been able to ship real products, keep them updated for decades, and run a sustainable software business on top of it. > > **Cons**: If I had to mention one downside, it would be the pricing. License costs have steadily increased over the years, which can be challenging for independent developers and small businesses. It would be great to see more generous loyalty or renewal discounts for long-term users. > > Overall, my experience has been very positive. Xojo is actively developed and receives regular updates—typically every few months—with new features and improvements. It’s refreshing to use a development tool that feels alive and continues to evolve rather than being abandoned or stagnant. ----- ### "A huge slap in the face to long term customers. Horrible support." — 1.0/5 > **Perry** | *12 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing anymore. It used to be great for rapid development, but their software has gotten buggier and more bloated. I continued using it because the support used to be good. Now they've written off all their loyal customers with a massive price increase and told everyone to leave if they don't like it. So I'm leaving. > > **Cons**: Bugs, terrible customer service, outrageous pricing. After 20+ years of using XOJO (formerly REALbasic) they've raised the price of their license 500%. Support was rude and unhelpful, basically told me to go kick rocks. > > They treat their long term loyal customers like garbage. The IDE is always slow and buggy, and they raised the prices so much it's clear they're pricing out many of their best customers. I'll switch to something else now after bringing dozens of uses to XOJO over the years. Goodbye. ----- ### "A good software to begin with" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *22 December 2018* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's the first software I used to begin programming. It is very easy to use and it helps beginners learn the basics of programming. > > **Cons**: You have to pay to be able to have the software you created for your own use. > > This software was of great use for me and I would certainly recommend it to people who want to start programming. ----- ### "Great for business development" — 4.0/5 > **Rodrigo** | *27 March 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It inherits a lot from VB6 and VB.NET, making it a quick turn to reuse old codes, giving a new look. It allows to compile for several platforms from the same source code. Minimalist tool, which simplifies use. Very productive\! > > **Cons**: The autocomplete could be better, it is a little strange, on the web it does not generate code fully compatible with Edge, causing some bugs. Android option is missing. It is quite expensive. > > It is a little strange at first, but then it becomes very productive, and it pays to learn from the ease of centralized multiplatform code. VB6 was the most productive thing so far, Xojo replaces it with praise, and it is a good escape option for those who have tired of the false promises that have revolved around VB.NET for years. In business, you need productivity + resources, not reinventing the wheel every 2 years, losing much of what you produced. ----- ### "Xojo for cross-platform development is a winner\!" — 4.0/5 > **Michael** | *28 January 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Xojo is a very approachable programming language and environment that allows me to create NATIVE applications that run on Windows, Mac, Linux and more while utilizing the same codebase. It has been a lifesaver for projects requiring rapid turnaround that must also be multi-platform, since I only have to code it (essentially) once. The fact that they also support web applications, mobile apps and even the Raspberry Pi is an added bonus\! > > **Cons**: The development environment occasionally generates a fatal error for unknown reasons. To be fair, it might be related to my own computer/OS, but I have no way to be sure. Fortunately the latest version of Xojo seems to be more forgiving when this happens, and often it even recovers on its own when this happens to me. > > For the most part, development with Xojo has been enjoyable, perhaps even fun\! It's pretty cool to create something on a Windows dev machine and then recompile it for Mac and have it just work\! It would be even more amazing if they could include an installer/packager for all supported platforms as part of the Xojo universe, but there are plenty of free installer systems out there. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/179342/xojo?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/179342/xojo) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
