I prefer IAR because of IAR PowerPac software tools which is recently added to this tool.I am about to try this tool(IAR PowerPac)

keil vs iar software

Well for ARM9 i suggest IAR is better than Keil. They are having good support for ARM9. But in keil for ARM9 it is having alots of bugs which are not yet fixed.
But for 8051 series controllers Keil is really good and easy.

Re: Keil vs IAR

KEIL is more easy to use then IAR on 8051 C compiler(IMHO). I use Keil and SDCC.

Keil vs IAR

Is there difference in term of cost when releasing commercial products.

How much IAR license for development
How much MDK-ARM license for development.

Any addition cost involved when marking the products with complied code derived from IAR or KEIL?

MDK-ARM has 32K limits on EVAL version, while IAR has 16K limits, so MDK-ARM is better for EVAL purpose?

Probably, but not much

How much IAR license for development
How much MDK-ARM license for development.

Contact IAR sales and Keil sales for a quote for your specific device (8051? ARM?)

Any addition cost involved when marking the products with complied code derived from IAR or KEIL?

Definitely no royalties for either compiler generated code. Royalties are sometimes charged for RTOSs but both Keil and IAR also offer royalty free RTOS

MDK-ARM has 32K limits on EVAL version, while IAR has 16K limits, so MDK-ARM is better for EVAL purpose?

Is it possible that you've got this one backwards?
