I have tried twice to push it, and both times I’ve gotten weird reactions because of the branding.

It’s not worth it for me to do that again, I wish Anubis had a paid version with a different domain and no cutsie anime girl branding. That would make it significantly easier to sell to me colleagues

I think the developer might benefit hearing that point of view. A separate website that only lists the paid tier without displaying the anime branding seems beneficial for them. You could suggest it to them.

  That would solve all my problems.

If they cannot stay professional, be the one who stays professional.

  Sure, but at the end of the day Anubis will not be used, because of its branding.

    Then point out that their way of thinking is unprofessional without saying so directly. That’s what I would do, at least.
    
    There is a way to use something like Anubia without having to deal with the image. But you need to handle it professionally.

    Even after doing that, Anubis will not get used. I am in the minority.

You say you have tried to convince them twice. How have you tried to bitch it so far? Like, give us a word for word and we may be able to help you workshop it.

  I am not jumping thought hoops at work to fight this battle at work.
  
  IMO, Anubis is no longer a tool I will recommend at work until there is a URL I can point people to without that branding, it being paid is not a issue, work will throw thousands of Euro’s at the issue if they have to. But I will never risk that mascot coming up in a meeting again.

    It sounds like you are still just throwing a fit over the fact that the Anubis team has set the logo as what it is.
    
    New suggestion:
    Write your own damn anti-bot code.

    Then don’t recommend it to others. Keep being ashamed of the cute, anime-style picture just because everyone else is embarrassed by it. But that’s not how the world’s problems get solved.
