My thots. You price software based on the following factors
Factor A.
A client should pay for a product depending on the perceived value. To get the perceived value the client does a cost benefit analysis... including the opportunity cost. The client also has the option of doing away with the software and with it comes its benefits.
Factor B.
Market Forces: Demand and Supply.
if there too many vendors chasing few clients then the price is low. and vice versa.
Factor C
Points of Differentiation.
if there is no differentiation on your software/product. What value are you adding to it to justify the price increase. Actually it should just die a natural death. if i sell cabbages and you sell cabbages our difference will be the price.
