A word about our pricing

We try to deliver the most innovative assistive technology solutions available for the Mac. We also continually improve our products adding new features our users request and we bring out updates frequently. All of this requires a serious investment in research and development. In the case of a small niche market, such as assistive technologies for people with disabilities, where volumes are small, this requires a pricing that generates enough revenue to continue improving our existing products and develop new ones.

We tried to start at the low end of the spectrum offering KeyStrokes 2 for an affordable shareware price of US$ 45. After it had been on the market for almost two years, we have found that volumes were too low to maintain this price level. We also found that the internet centered distribution model of KeyStrokes 2 prevented many schools and institutions (a considerable part of the target market) from purchasing it because of their rules disallowing internet purchases. Based on these experiences we have left the internet-centered distribution model for our new products. All our products are now also available through specialized distributors and dealers (as well as continuing to be available through internet). Distributor and dealers also need to have a margin, which has effectively required us to increase our prices. While we realize and regret that these prices may not be affordable to everyone they are the only way we can reach everyone and continue to invest in product development and improvement. Better and more innovative products are to everyone's benefit. What is more, our new products might be relatively more expensive, their prices are still among the lowest in the market (for example, commercial on-screen keyboard software typically costs any were between US$ 299 to US$ 595).
