Hi Andrew.
I bought the commercial one and am really happy with it.
Some words about the pricing for the coming 3.0 .
I would just look at other developer and try to find out how they did and handle the upgrade pricings.
And I allso would try to compare what faetures they offer in their software for actual price with my software to have a better idea what my software should cost for what it offers.
I think no matter if it would cost 180, 200, 250, maybe 300 or more,,, but I would try to be shure to place my software in the right pricing cathegory.
If I am really out for Pros I would have to think seriously about Ui and Workflow enhancements of my Software to give timesaver.
And just my opinion about upgrade pricings.
An Upgrade should not cost more than the upcoming new version.
If you sell V3 for 200 or 300,,, you should stay under these final pricings or just set the difference as upgrade price.
The other way would be to offer for upgrade price and additional "fee" to implemet the features of the upcoming new version into 2.x to give people the possibility to work now with these features without having to wait for the new version.
Maybe the best way would be to offer two options.
1. Just pay 100 and wait untill the V3 arrives to get hands on the new features.
2. or Pay 100+20 to get all the good stuff immediatly until they are implemented on the way from getting V2 to v3,,, to work with them.
An additional option could be allso a low version for Hobbyists with a lower price but with the same two options.
Just an idea.
To some of the customers:
I think some people don't know the difference between update and upgrade.
Update means,,, getting just BugFixes and Optimizations fro free.
Upgrade means,,, getting new Features and paying for them!
Andrew gave many upgrades for free,,, just think about what you could have to pay for all these.
Wouldn't it be fair to give him back a bit?
And allso it's his Software and he must decide how much he wants for it.
If he asks us, we customers can just give our opinions and thoughts.
Greets,
Can
