    Hi,
    Recently i discovered a software marketplace website codecanyon.com (Evanto Group) where one can sell his/her software product to earn good amount. I saw authors earning a very handsome amount through selling software, then suddenly i noticed a point that the rates are lower than expected for software. Like a good ERP with all the essentials features are priced only $35. Like wise the maximum price of software in all categories is only $65.

    I have few bootstrap HTML5 applications that are working just fine for my clients and i want to sell it over codecanyon to earn some more but need an expert advice before to proceed as i am not willing to sell my hard work for such a low price without very solid reason. Just need advice and guidance.

    Thank you ..

    It's a buyer's market. But developers make a ton.

    If you don't sell, someone else will sell something similar to what you've made and will get the money you're not.

    Just like Fiverr, you need to look at the type of marketplace it is and create products accordingly.

    btw the url is .net, not .com

    actually i was curious to know the reason behind so low price for software.
    Like in example below, the hospital management system is so beautifully coded, well documentation and user friendly U.I and for me just $35 dollar is an insult to this app. (May be i am wrong, i don't know. I have just started in this industry)

    It's almost 2014. Literally children are coding well now, and have been for at least 10 years.

    Webdesign has always been less-than appreciated, seen as "easy," and I don't think that perception will change as time goes on.

    I mean, you can even look at article writing. Things got weird when $1 / 100 words became the norm, and now many charge $.50 / 100 words, and if you do your homework vetting the providers, the quality is the same and in some cases better than $2 / 100 words.

    Working online, we're dealing with international markets and in that case, differences of currency and purchasing parity pushes prices down. Someone will always underbid you. You'll soon see a site comparable to the $35 one for $15.
