30 or 60 day free trial, and after that an infinite-use key available for $X. That's what convinced me to buy TextMate and many other software products that I use.
- huhtenberg 18y agoAh, good point. I meant to say there is a N days trial period if you are uncertain which license you are going to use. This is effectively needed to enable trialing the app in commercial setups.
- emmett 18y agoI wouldn't make a distinction. Your work is worth something, charge for it!
- huhtenberg 18y agoWell, there's more than one way to charge for it. I can try and charge everyone $10 a pop or focus on a selected few and sell $1000 licenses. There are few elements in play here including who's a target audience, the feature set, the simplicity of the offering, the good will attitude towards the users, the license enforcement issues, etc. The goal is to weight and balance so them so that to maximize the revenue. The model I am looking at looks very promising from many angles, so I wanted to evaluate it from other angles that I am not perhaps considering.
