Given I am going to be launching a start-up soon that is a lot more expensive than $50, wondering what the communities thoughts are.
Does the HN community feel $50 is too high, too low, or just right for padpressed?
Also, I think TC readers are notoriously poor performers when it comes to actionable signups/registrations/purchases of the things they're so quick to comment on. I'm not sure their thoughts on pricing are worth much.
Our thought on initial pricing was this: People pay for Wordpress themes AND plugins. This is somewhere in the middle. Woothemes charges $70 no problem, wptouch pro is $30, and other advanced plugins can cost $100. Let's start with $50. It's less than WooThemes, but more than wptouch pro.
I would be an interesting experiment in pricing. All things "iPhone" get premium priced (except the amount a user is willing to pay for the app), so I wonder if it could be priced higher, or if since the iPad distribution is much lower, it will result in a lower price point.
Of course it is always easier to wonder when it is not your product that is being impacted :)
that being said, i think we'll see a LOT more premium plugins and themes for sale soon for wordpress.
