I checked out the theme itself, and immediately a message showed up saying that it detected my country and offered me a discount code to make sure that the theme is still affordable for my country.

It's simple things like this that probably help a side project like this get to where it is, great job!

I can't emphasize enough how important Purchasing Parity Power is. Making it affordable for other countries is crucial.

Do you've any resource country wise pricing for digital products and services (or how does a large company does it) (not big mac index)

I've looked into different resources to come up with my own numbers. This was a great reference: paritybar.com

I wonder how does one put a price on a product like this. For example, if I am paying for a cloud VM instance, I could calculate the energy per CPU, hardware costs, etc. and ultimately come to a reasonable price. What would be the thought process for reaching a certain price for this specific product?

That's not really how pricing of anything works though. If you buy a cloud VM instance, you're not just paying for cost of energy and hardware costs—you're paying for the service and the R&D that goes into it. If you buy a $300 Japanese chef's knife, you're certainly not just paying for the cost of materials.

Everything is priced based on what people are willing to pay. Supply and demand.

What do you use to provide this?
