Help pricing my work

[Stexjy]

Hello, I'm a Plugin Developer, and recently I realized that other developers have much higher prices than I do. How should I price the work? Any help?

reputation shouldn't mean higher prices. it's about the quality of work

Put it into a business perspective. Would you pay the same to an entry-level developer as you would someone who's been with you for 5+ years?

Reputation absolutely should mean higher prices in addition to your quality of work. Reputation proves your quality of work.

edit: to clarify, OP should probably raise his prices anyways if his competitors are already much higher. Development prices on MCM are already insultingly low

if you have your prices to low people will think it's a poor plugin if prices are too high people will think it's overpriced I know helpful aren't I
Until your big you probably want to settle for 1-2$ per plugin purchase or start out free. This will get you better at developing and make you a trusted character in the community.
