Have you dug deeper into Transmit? There's a function in there to create a drop icon. I've tried Transmit and simply don't see any added value to it that justifies the cost. Maybe I've got my settings wrong, but Transmit is always faster. I find the built-in FTP program in GoLive CS2 a little sketchy.

> Ignore for a moment the fact that pro web design apps often have their own ftp engine built-in these days. OK, you got me there, I never tried that before. Who needs a 2-panel ftp program when that's built into the OS? Just drag that icon from the titlebar over the FTP window and keep working. > Under OS X, I can take any GUI ftp program, connect to a server and leave a window floating in the background, then when I want to upload the file I'm working on, I don't even need to leave the foreground application. What shareware would you pay for if they offered a license at a more reasonable price and what's the 'sweet-spot' price for you for that particular software?Įdited 3 time(s).

I like supporting shareware authors, but I'm not inclined to throw money away. Those MacHeist/MacUpdate promos show that lots of people are interested in paying for shareware when it's affordable. With all of the utility crammed into one app, I'd love to recommend it to all of my friends, but not at $60 dollars.

In fact, anyone who is sophisticated enough to want the tools offered in Interarchy is also sophisticated enough to realize that those tools are built into the Mac OS and that there are FREE and cheap programs that do the same things in a GUI. Interarchy is presently priced at a whopping $60 dollars! Upgrades are $30 dollars! That's outrageous! Where do they get those 'nads? It's not like they're in a field with no competition. The real king of overpriced software is whomever is presently selling Interarchy. Panic's software is just moderately overpriced. The cutoff for most people seems to be $20 dollars. I really like Unison, but I have a hard time convincing other people to try it when it's $25 dollars.

I'd pay maybe $20 bucks if I had a frequent use for the automation or drag-drop features. Transmit - a nice GUI slapped on an FTP program with some clever add-ons - is $30 dollars. The thread was about Panic's Candybar - an icon tool that most people might have a use for once or twice a year, priced at $30 dollars.īut all of Panic's software is a bit overpriced. A recent discussion on ArsTechnica got me thinking about overpriced shareware.
