We're going to move to a fixed price for version 2.
(It will no longer be name your own price.)

While you're a biased group to ask Smiley, I'm curious what you think.

15 dollars is reasonable, not 20!

What if they didn't get an education because of the money? Then, no job.

It's a good question what it should cost. The more it costs, the less people will buy it. But I guess there's no shipment costs or something like that.
If it costed ten dollars, perhaps 100 would buy it. But if it costed 20 dollars, perhaps only 50 would buy it. Then it would be the same. I don't know where the balance point is.

I can say that I would pay as much as normal computer games cost. Perhaps I would pay 50$, but I wouldn't do that if I didn't know the program.

It's simple to learn. Most likely somone has 30 dollars out there! Take out a bank loan if needed!

I say 15 or 20 bucks.

As for a people getting a job to make money, it's not so easy. Trust me, I know.

The average is (by the way, I averaged people's requests if they had two or more, to only min and max if a range): $21.50

Actually, double deal would cost $40.

But it's a deal! Not normal cost!

I say 25 dollars for US, then a double pack is 45! You get $5 off!

- The planetarium Starry Night cost $212.46,

- Framsticks ( a biological Evolution simulator ) cost $49 (or $25 for educational license),

- Astrograv ( a simulator much less sophisticated than the Universe Sandbox ) cost $59 !!!

- Gravity 1.3 ( a much less sophisticated simulator than Astrograv ) cost $15,00 !!!!!!!


And here are suggestions that the Universe Sandbox is expected to cost between $20 and $30 ( or less !! ) ?

The Universe Sandbox is a simulator with a unique quality that should not have a price lower than $50, I just think it would be somewhere around $80 !

I would agree with APODman but to be competitive with others - being a little cheaper isn't always bad.
