    I don't think XenForo is expensive at all. If you're aren't working or bringing in some income then yes I can see how $140 can seem expensive but otherwise it's very affordable. Now vBulletin is expensive peaking at about $300.

    Definitely agree with you on that. I wouldn't be surprised if they up the price later down the road around version 2.0

    I'm sorry but Xenforo is the cheapest Paid forum software out right now it's only ten dollars cheaper than IPB but it's still cheaper and vBulletin, you have to pay out the rear end to even think about getting it.

    Probably because the world today wants everything to be free.

    XenForo is well worth the price. The only other two worthy alternatives are priced higher than XF

    Yea it is, tell me about it. Thats why there is so much crime. The wise thing to do is, work your butt of and earn money instead of sitting there doing nothing complaining about the things you don't have and cant have. I hate when people do that.

    XenForo is very cheap. I would still buy it if it was to cost more than vBulletin because obviously its so much better.

    $140 is hardly expensive for forum software. Take a look at how much a vBulletin 4 license will cost you, THEN complain about XF being expensive, it's not, really.

    I agree, its not just how cheap it is, but you actually get what you pay for unlike vBulletin.

    It might look expensive but as Kaiser said you get what you paid for.
    I think XenForo is a great software I was amazed how much better it is then vBulletin.

    I remember when it first came out, I had no plans to buy it.. as I thought it wouldn't go anywhere, but in a few months I changed my mind. As xenforo gets better and better each time. I bought my license when Xenforo was only at Beta 3. Its great to see if shift from beta to RC versions and now stable.

    I have been working hard lately so that I can get myself a license, I would say though it has the right price. Just look at how much vB costs, and what it has to offer.. :thumbsdown:

    It costs a lot, it might be good, but it's over priced.

    Have you even read what others have mentioned here? Xenforo is the last forum software I would say is over priced.

    If you do your research, it's probably the cheapest (or at least one of the cheapest) paid forum software out there, and you get more than what you pay for.

    I think this discussion has had it's time, and it's time to close it for now, and maybe re-open it in the future if XF decide to up the cost (which apparently won't be happening for a while I think) and still see if it's one of the cheap ones, or one of the extremely expensive ones out there, etc.
