When I see a $7 app I think its going to be crap and have terrible
support.
I haven't found any relationship between the price and crap program/
terrible support categories. I have purchased $80 programs that turn
out to be crap but have great support, $300 programs that are great
but riddled with bugs/support issues and $7 programs that are just
fantastic in both aspects. And everything in between.
What I have noticed is that if the author tends to actually "use" the
software being sold, rather than just writing it to fill a void and
make an income, the software tends to be of better quality with less
bugs. The author seems far more receptive to fixing any problems
reported not only because they use it as well, but because they are
using it, they normally find the problems first.
Regardless of price, I try the software if I can, determine if it
will do the job I need and then see if there is alternative programs
that offer more or less of what I need. If the software is the only
game in town, then I can either afford it or I can't. If there are a
number of products that do similar things, then price is going to
come into play somewhere along the line.
I don't find that price really has much to do with quality or support
anymore.
Just my .02
