I think they're charging for convenience. I mean that's what the applications are. I just think for upstarts it's touch high to get started with. Blinkbid I find extremely easy but they raised the price when the new one came out.

I think Blinkbid started at $89 which I would've gladly put down but there aren't any low cost applications that do what it does, which is disappointing. If I could I would make my own app, but that would probably be the reason it cost so much more now too.

Here's hoping for more competition in the arena.
