Is it? See, that's what I am trying to figure out. Personally, I don't think of the "excess amount" as a donation, it's part of the price I've picked myself. And when you buy the app, the amount on the invoice is just one number, it's not split between "base price" and "donation".
> It just sounds like you're not sure how much it's worth (or you have customers who it's worth $2.50 to and customers who it's worth $20.00 to, and you can't choose who to target).
I know what it's worth to me, in my eyes. But even though I've sold a number of licenses, both full price and 20% off, I have no idea whether it's worth the same to my potential customers. Instead of running A/B tests and or different sales I'm trying to speed up the process and see how it pans out.
> wouldn't it be better for them to "pay-what-they-want" after they try it?
Of course everybody should try the app before plunking down money. That's why there is a 14-day trial period. :) Again, I can only judge from my personal experience, but when I run a trial of an app I like I tend to "return to the website to buy". Don't you? :)

Ironically, you won't know whether you're speeding up the process unless you'd test both approaches (A/B-testing and 'pay-what-you-want'-pricing) and see whether they always lead to same outcome. (I'm betting against it.)
