I hope you get rich off your programs (or at least can do it full time - I imagine this is a side hobby now). After reading the complaints about the price, my decision was made - I'll take it! I just registered. I was debating whether or not to spend $40 on this application as well. Sometimes you price yourself out of more business than you will ever know! What is going to compell me to pay that for ultramon? Oh well! My firewall/antivirus costs $39 for a year. $29 is the top I'm willing to pay and have been waiting for them to lower it to no avail. Yes! I've been putting up with the ultramon nag for a couple years now just to get different wallpapers on each mon. ![]() :) not to flame, but if you can afford a second monitor, ultramon is a good investment to go with it. I have downloaded much cooler utilities for only $10 or $15 in the past.Īm i the only one that finds the price is right? I would spend $10 - $25 on this but not $40. It's a shame it's so much :(įor 15 licenses you would already get a $10 discount per license, see the price list for more information about volume discounts. I'd certainly fork out $24, but $40 just feels way too much.Īt my business, we want to buy about 15 copies, but we can't get the approval to spend that much money. ![]() I might be wrong, and again, the author can decide what he wants, but ultimatelty, I see little point in positionning UltraMon only in the geek luxury market when there are a base market available and not reached at all and that can be slowly taken however by free alternative if nothing is done.Īs far as I am concerned, I'll continue to monitor UltraMon website from time to time to check if a light version will eventually come out, but unless it does, I unfortunately not be part of UltraMon customer family :-( I have not enough advantages to pay 40$ for small features when the basics are well covered with a free alternative.Īgreed. The author of UltraMon decides what he wants for his business strategy, but my feeling is that he would gain customers having a "light" and a "pro" versions of UltraMon.Ġ registered users for a non-existent cheaper/lighter UltraMon versionĥ00 registered users at 15$ for the Light Like Laurent, I don't need the mirror feature, nor the screensaver, and wallpaper stuff. My point is that I won't ever pay 40$ bucks for these features in UltraMon, but I could be more inclined to register to a cheaper and lighter version of UltraMon that would have them at, let's say, 10 or 15$. ![]() Yet, there are some features that I slightly miss in the free solution, like the Extended maximizing button, and the fast switching profiles. Since it's free and does the basic, I now use it and because of that, I obviously decided not to register and not to use UltraMon anymore. Thanks to Mark Major for pointing it out. The free alternative is very good and stable. EG windows don't pop-up when you drag a file to the taskbar. It seems stable, but is not quite as refined as UltraMon. although, how will he know that if he doesn't have "promo" to beta-test that idea. If Cris can make more money at $20 per sale, then I'm sure he'll do it. As competitors come into the field, I'm sure someone will have a suitable product in the $10-$20 level. So, maybe it is just a novelty-surcharge. However, it does target the "wierd" folks that have a hankering for multiple monitors. I agree that $40 is steep (by about 2x) for a small add-on utility that pretty much amounts to being just a cool toy. *sigh* Does anybody know a cheaper or free alternative for Windows Management on two monitors ? ![]() Some much more specialized program are at this price. At 40$US, the utility is way out my budget. I just whished the price was cheaper or a "light" version existed. I worked over and over with the same settings, so I don't care changing them manually from time to time. These are just bells and whistles for me. I don't care about screensaver, wallpaper, shortcuts or profiles. Actually, it's only the Window management feature I need. I use it on my laptop along with an old refurbish monitor. I found UltraMon the other day on the net. I'm pretty sure that I only paid $24.95 - where are you getting $40 from? However, it seems to me that you would get a lot more customers at a lesser cost. However.isn't $40 bucks a little steep? Yes I understand the effort put into it. I have tried UM and found it to be very usefull under the right circumstances, and would like to purchase.
