How much to charge for your Web App?

Because if you go back, say, 20 years, no one would pay anything that wasn't physical. It just didn't make sense to people back then. There was no reason to.

Now computers are so ubiquitous and powerful that people pay for "virtual" things all the time. They pay to download that song off of iTunes. They pay to download that iPhone app. Hell, they pay for "land" in Second Life and "money" in Farmville.

That doesn't mean they see real products and virtual products as equal. It is simply acknowledging that virtual products exist.

I wasn't saying they see them as equal. I'm saying they see them as more equal than they did when virtual products were seen as totally worthless.

I see your point, I would counter that users almost expect everything for free these days and getting them to pay is harder than it was before, but easier than originally?
