There are some strange offers
For example Softube.
You get an offer from Softube by email.
Once I saw some plugin for $ 89 and I thought "well, still not cheap, but for me in Europe it's cheaper to pay a $ price in €
(only a few months ago € was even stronger!)
Then in checkout I noticed I had to pay € 89 plus VAT and was upset.
Bye bye Softube, you won't fool me, even
though I saw afterwards that you wrote something in very small letters in your offer
Make decent offers!
Today I received an email from UVI, some subscription offer.
Price is $ 24/ € 24 monthly.
How can one consider $ and € the same?
Very often VAT is added to a price in €, whereas $ without.
Why do Europeans have to pay more?
UVI is in France!
Anyway I do not like their VSTi very much,
but some devs have strange pricing
Offer in $, but pay in €! ?

In theory you have to pay taxes also in the US. At the moment paying the same number in € including tax is even cheaper than paying $ + tax. European companies are forced to include the tax when a price is listed…
One can illegally avoid European taxes if you buy through foreign third parties. This isn’t the fault of the original developers…
