Wow. Kinda surprised at the price. $69 to upgrade when I spent $190 in June of 2017. What are the improvements that justify that cost? Seems like CoffeeCup is getting ridiculously expensive now.
Hi Steve
I guess that it is all relative; if you are managing a single or small number of websites with the software then yes on paper it appears expensive. We manage over 300 websites using Coffee Cup software (though only a handful currently with SD3.5, most are with RFF, we only moved over to SD because it appears development of RFF has stopped otherwise we would have stuck with RFF because we only build websites with Foundation Framework.). For us it is a reasonable price to pay to ensure that the software is being developed. The team at CC are not running a charity so should rightly expect to be paid for the time spent improving SD.
Without wanting to state the obvious you have to weigh up whether V3.5 of the software does everything you need from it and that the added functionality is unnecessary for your project(s). As Brian says above you have the licence for V3.5 and it is not going to stop working. We still use Microsoft Office 2007 - it does everything we need it to so never seen the need to upgrade.
Not sure it is the 'Rolls Royce' of apps as Wayan suggests but it is getting there and definitely beats coding from scratch with the likes of Dreamweaver which is how I started 15 years ago!!
