A comment on “Powered by” buttons for customer acquisition.

Powered by has been around for 20 years, it's known trick and generally only applicable for the free tier of product.

One can imagine a Web page: powered by d3, hosted on github, protected by cloudflare, built by Travis CI and scanned by snyk.

It's somewhat tolerable, and it's cute.

But it doesn't apply so well for non free stuff.

Have you read the article at all? He mentions examples like Scitter Engine which are completely “non-free stuff”.
