Existing users, 
I use Saft for quite some years now, and have always paid for an update whenever I updated the OS. Now, with 15$ upgrade fee (where the full OS upgrade cost me mere 20$) I am really upset with the developer. Not only does he never answer emails when you send suggestions for improvements or questions as to further development, he also tries to rip-off his loyal customers repeatedly. I am not willing to throw money at this guy every year or second year, basically for NO added features for ages - just to have the same feature running again on the new OS.
Sorry guy, you are overdoing it. Give the SnowLeopard version out for free to loyal customers, or you'll lose them for good.

1. While not a software developer, from what other developers have said, adjusting to Snow Leopard (from Leopard) isn't necessarily a "simple update" where it entails input-related software.2. While the README file accompanying this beta release has not been fully updated to address the pricing--much seems still to be what accompanied a Leopard release--nor has the Price on the VersionTracker page been updated from what's still showing as $12, nor is there currently a link to an upgrade purchase of the Snow Leopard version--only one for a plain purchase at $15; I'm not prepared to believe that--as cited by walfrieda--the upgrade price will also be $15. (The past practice had been to provide an upgrade at half price [i.e., $6 versus what had been the $12 charge for a plain purchase].) Instead, I'm prepared to await Saft for Snow Leopard to come out of beta and for the developer to clarify whether there will be a reduced upgrade pricing before judging whether I'll stay on board with Saft.

I'm with you 100%. I'm not paying this guy more for an upgrade than I paid for the original app just to have it work (in 32-bit mode, mind you) in Snow Leopard.Hao Li, stop being a greed head or watch your customers go over to Glims.
