The price for Affinity Designer in the sale is GBP: 29.99 | USD: 39.99 | Euro: 39.99
Equivalent to - AUD: $50.04 | AUD: $53.78 | AUD: $57.20
Yet in the mac app store and through the site the price is $63 AUD. I'd like to know the rationalisation for this pricing as I find it concerning. I've been interested in purchasing Affinity as an alternative to photoshop [Designer, Photo and eventually Publisher] at full price but I feel somewhat cheated at seeing yet another company mark up the prices for Australian customers unfairly. Most companies I purchase products from keep a price of equivalent value to the american price. This is definitely something I and other Australian consumers appreciate so would appreciate feedback regarding this matter.
If the price was $53.78 or to be more even, rounded up to $55 I would definitely buy this software now in a heartbeat though my adobe subscription doesn't run out for a few more months. To clarify again my issue isn't with $63 being too expensive but with a seemingly unnecessary and unfair pricing disparity.
