I think that the fact is they do not even show a simple pricing scheme - it
is all based on being called by a sales gimp.

For the record, this is not how CommonSpot pricing works. They do have fixed
prices for their products. However, different clients tend to need different
products and different numbers of licenses, so it would be difficult for
Paperthin to post prices on their site and have people make sense of them.
Unfortunately, the fact is that complex products tend to have complex
pricing schemes.

As for moral reprehensibility, that's silly. There is no moral dimension to
pricing. The goal of any seller is to maximize profit, and if flexible
pricing schemes make that happen, that's the logical way to sell.
