The difference is that there are fewer companies buying bug tracking so there’s a lot more money per customer. 37s makes $1800/yr tops off of a Basecamp customer, but Atlassian or FogBugz can make several times that. If you’re fighting for fewer, more profitable customers, you need to be able to win. It’s different markets - you wouldn’t suggest to Boeing to give an all-you-can-eat deal to any airline for a fixed price.
Fog Creek could try to shrink the industry by getting rid of the per-seat licensing, but if they have a similar price structures and features as their competitors, they’d better be able to win deals.
