I RARELY buy any shareware as I can normally find freeware that does the job and you can swap as other more suitable programs are developed.
Howeevr I decided [ conscience] that I would make a xmas donation to all the developers whose s/w I use all the time.
In response to your query here are my thoughts re pricing and why people buy:
The full version has ESSENTIAL functionality missing from the free version. [ especially if you want corporate sales]
The program is so much better than anything else - i.e it makes your life so much easier or you just can't live without it [ Treepad for example see here
http://www.reepad.com ]
The price is easily affordable AND free upgrades [preferably for life]
For me £15 is a good guide [ whatever that is in Euros ! spit !]
contact with the author AND real SUPPORT
[ in the PAID version ? ] the author incorporates suggestions from users - even if he doesn't always want them himself.
Lastly - Conscience ! - but I doubt this will get you many sales
Frage: If you keep giving the goodies away for free where is the reason to buy - other than moral / ethical reasons :-D
As I said I was going to donate - but I would have HAD to anyway because I see I can at last configure the toobar BUT only save it in the paid version. This has been top of my wish list for ever. [ I will be adding a post on the wishes forum later :-D ]
Hope this helps.
