Siriusz, product brings more value/return for the buyer when stakes increase, therefore the price logically goes up.
Also its a matter of investment and return protection for both
development and
users. You might say ok its protection for you but why users? Well, imagine if the product is charged $50 a piece(standard software price/without value/investment comparison). Everyone even the cheapest guy snap-buys it and what happens then?
Users over-saturate the product which isnt highly expandable(something like Hem) and development returns stay bad(some people might love to code for 0.01$/hour though). In other words, no one gains anything.
If you wanna hire a programmer you could do that(who knows, some ideas might be patented though
) and you might get good or bad results but i have already seen something like that happen and that programmer who was supposedly very well rated and had a great team on the end scammed buyer promising him a great software and he did what? Photoshop-attached(or whatever he used) images of my software as preview of his "work" and sent it to the poor guy(no offence) who bought the story.
Also you might think/say software is not complicated enough for you?, not valuable enough to you for the price? We could debate this but the best answer would be - Then don't buy it.
I d rather have a smaller happy user base who pays roughly $15 for $60 Buyin Sngs per month and 50$ per month for $300 Buyin Sngs which i believe is more then affordable for buyer returns then sell a snake oil pretending i love to code for 0.01$ hourly while over-saturating a very specific niche.
These are my views, if you dont share them thats fine because not 2 eggs are same, much-less 2 brains while we still dont know whats 90% of the brain used for.
Thanks for sharing yours though, any constructive suggestion and even critic is welcome and helps.
