Why we charge less than everyone else

And no, it's not a pricing strategy.

People sometimes ask why our products are cheaper than the equivalent on Gumroad. The honest answer is: it's not a strategy.

It's a side effect of three decisions we already made.

We don't bundle

Our products are single, focused things. One job, one price. We don't package five PDFs into a "bundle" and charge €197.

So our individual price reflects the individual product. That makes it look low next to bundles. It isn't. It's just unbundled.

We don't run launches

Big-launch pricing works backwards: you set a "real" price of €497, then "discount" to €97, then tell people they only have 48 hours. That €497 is fiction. The real price is €97.

We just charge €27 or €37 and don't make you wait.

We assume you'll be back

Our long-term math is one customer buying three things over two years, not one customer buying one thing at a peak emotional moment. That math only works if the first thing was a fair price.

So no — it's not a pricing strategy. It's what happens when you remove the games.
