I&amp;#x27;m a Neo user today, and I&amp;#x27;ve said before that while I don&amp;#x27;t think most people will switch to graph databases, at some point I do think most new projects will use them. I chose Neo precisely because of py2neo.&lt;p&gt;The decision to adapt GraphQL instead of supporting Cypher, what would you say were the big trade offs?&lt;p&gt;As a startup, your price point is in the 20k&amp;#x2F;y ballpark, but GrapheneDB&amp;#x2F;Neo comes in a lot lower.  What would I get for paying that much more?&lt;p&gt;I find that the audience for something that operates at the level of abstraction that a graph does tends to be different than the user who makes decisions based on lower-level features. e.g. design level problems vs. optimization problems.&lt;p&gt;Would you say more that you can get Mongo and Redis (+redisgraph) users to switch to Dgraph, or instead more that the main customers for graph databases are still in school right now and deciding what tech skills will underpin their careers?&lt;p&gt;Fascinating space and looking forward to trying the product.</text></comment>
