During a phone call with OmniGroup (OmniFOcus, OmniPlan, etc.) on 2/10/11, they said that when I buy their apps from the App store, I will have to pay the FULL retail non-upgrade price for all future major upgrades. There will be no upgrade pricing option on the App Store and I will not be able to buy their boxed retail upgrade if the original was bought on the App Store. That would really stink. Is this an App Store issue or OmniGroup policy??
Got a tip for us?

Why didn't you ask them if it was an App store policy or their policy when you were on the phone with them?
This is one concern I've had with the App store myself. I don't care to pay full pricing on any software I choose to upgrade if I am a legitimate user of a previous version. I realize developers spend a great deal of time on their apps, but often upgrades don't warrant a full purchase price in my opinion.
