Joel on Software - On the Pricing of Software

“O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” I chortle. We have found the optimum price, $220, and that’s how much you should charge for your software. Thanks for your time.

Ahem.

Thank you for your time! Nothing more to see here! Move along now!

You’re not leaving.

I see.

Some of the more observant members of my audience have detected through careful analysis of the scrollbar position in their web browser that I might have something more to say other than “$220.”

Well, maybe. There’s just a tiny little loose end I left untied which I might as well tie up now if you’re all still up for it. Ok? OK!
