See, this is the issue I have with most pricing models. The price for commercial use is set with the idea that the software is being sold to large companies for whom money is no object.
However, I’m a broke freelancer for whom that is a LOT of money.
That said, I haven’t checked currency rates in a while and it seems 99 Euros does translate to a bit less than The Brain for me, but still far more than it costs to fill my gas tank.

Bob.
99 Euro doesn’t sound expensive to me. Take Mindmanager or Mindgenius Pro, for example: they cost over 300 Euro.
If that’s too much: There is a wealth of free mindmapping tools and - a few - concept mapping tools.

Ingo,
You’ve clearly got a bigger car than me ;-) But I also find the pricing reasonable - it’s half of what The Brain charges and it’s not the type of software which will sell millions of copies so that you could charge 1.99 for it.
I like that I could immediately work with the software without the need to refer all the time to a manual - I worked it out in about 3 minutes, and it worked as advertised and without noticeable bugs or crashes (unusual on my system). What I miss, though, is being able to add text to nodes except by importing an external file. Unless I’ve missed something ...

Hi Ingo - Thanks for your reply. This all sounds very interesting! I’m looking forward to trying out 1.1. Please let us know when it’s available. Cheers.

Maybe, he has. But gasoline is much more expensive over here. About 1.60 Euro per litre Super unleaded, today.
