Or, and that’s the other option, if you can get the same offering at a lower cost.
For example, for me, as a user, IRCCloud is far too expensive, because for half the monthly cost I can run a Quassel core (an open IRC bouncer with similar functionality) for 10 users.
So, to me, I have a choice between 4 bucks a month for a product, or 0.20 bucks a month for the same product.
A big issue with this are the silicon valley wages. Most of these services are priced for users in Silicon Valley, where 5 bucks a month are nothing.
But out in the rest of the world, money is worth a lot more, and as a result, the entire cost/use equation changes, making many of these products impossible to afford.
