I agree that 150usd might be too cheap for pro market but like i mentioned maybe they found out they need to first go for amateurs. Who knows maybe they will make it more expensive in future or offer some kind of pro option.
I also have to mention maybe your expectations are a bit skewed? Software dev got cheaper and not everything has to be breakneck hype venture capital squeeze. There is type design software Glyphs (https://glyphsapp.com/ https://glyphsapp.com/) used by basically every typedesigner now. It costs 300usd and it is very complex. But they seem to be doing OK. Its so niche compared to Affinity that there is maybe 5% of potential customers?
Both Affinity and Glyphs are small private companies from europe where devs cost less. Maybe they are fine with smaller teams, slower pace and just OK profits.
- seanwilson 3y agoThanks, interesting data point! For what it's worth, I'm interested in selling products myself where "smaller teams, slower pace and just OK profits" sounds great to me, so I'm very curious how to price products for niche markets. It's also frustrating how Adobe lock-in and similar can block you from creating and selling certain design products.
