And surprise surprise, no location-based pricing on their money site: https://slite.com/pricing. So employees must reduce their salary if they live in a cheap cost of living, but companies based on that same cheap cost of living (i.e. low income) area don't get a discount for their services.

In a post-Panama-Papers world, I don't blame individuals for optimizing like companies do. So good talent will live in Argentina and find a way to get a $200k+ salary, if that is what they are worth to someone. And why not, software is eating the world, afterall.

That's a good point, I'm glad you're raising it.

Indeed, we have a fair salary model but not a fair pricing (by country). But we have a fair billing policy (https://help.slite.com/en/articles/2008029-what-is-slite-s-f...) and most of our customers are global actors that earn money from high cost of living countries.
