Why the change in price?

[tokymon]

This may bring lots of flaming, but why did you change the price of licences. i see this will not really affect me yet but all the prices seem to be raised.
just asking

It has to do with the falling US dollar.

A company that doesnt change their prices in 5 years time has my respect by all means...you can thank our country and inflation for the price increase! lol

Hmm, yet again though, us blokes in Aust (and NZ) pay more, even when we ought to be enjoying the advantage of our stronger (comparative) currencies.

Either way, we lose, because the larger market is always the one most catered to. I do realise it isn't only EFILive doing this, but it is still disappointing, nonetheless.

... I do realise it isn't only EFILive doing this, but it is still disappointing, nonetheless ...

The economic market system is what is "doing this" - has since the dawn of the industrial age. I remember when gasoline was $0.35 a gallon, a new Chev pickup was $2,200 and a modest first home could be purchased for $25,000.

In my area gasoline is current $5.69 a gallon (Imperial), a new Chev Silverado is $25,000 plus, and you can't find a habitable starter home for less than $200,000.

If you are working on a vehicle with both an ECM and TCM - the "other" tuning software suite charges a licence fee for each controller - EFILive charges one licence fee per controller pair - that equates to half the licencing cost of the other software provider.

I know people don't like what I say a lot of times , but to raise prices in a down economy (recession) is a sure way to end the company .
Sorry if it offends anyone .

Fuel prices, vehicle prices, housing costs, wages ... etc. have all increased year to year since the non-great depression of 2008. Companies falter when costs exceed revenue, product quality decreases, or the marketplace shifts.

For tuning vehicles with ECM and TCM controllers, EFILive is a more cost effective option than HPTuners, and much more cost effective than LS2Edit. The staff at EFILive advised of a forthcoming price increase - well in advance. Most parts suppliers / GM dealers rarely, if ever, advise when the cost of parts will increase.

As you may have deduced - people wanting something for nothing (greed) does not fit into my economic view. Greed is what caused the recent non-great depression, and changed the lives of the planful and conscientious - at the hands of the foolish.

i disagree Chev.

I'm ok with it! I just charge $250 for my tunes instead of $200 It's all good, still well worth it and as stated the TCM stuff is a huge plus. I am charging $40 for TCM tuning because I have dozens of extra ones left over lol. And sorry but with all due respect the extra $25 will not end the company...
