Information Architects has posted a nice response to my piece about App Store pricing and Neven’s reblog. They go into a fair amount of detail about just how much work it takes for a third party to develop a high-quality app for Mac or iOS, the thinking behind their pricing, and how well it’s all worked out for them.

One part that stood out to me:

A nice side effect: Pricing iA Writer higher than the average makes it possible for our competitors to go up with their price. And, believe it or not, we want healthy competitors that fight on a higher level.

What a great attitude. I think I might buy iA Writer just to support these guys.
