We thought that we should let you all know that we will be increasing our prices for our services, bad news we know! However we have no choice in this as the US Dollar has lost so much of it’s value that we must do this.

This is the first time that Hitsniffer has raised prices since we launched our service. License pricing has to increase due to the weak position of the US Dollar. We would advise that you purchase a longer period than the standard one month plan to avoid the increases.

We have many clients who are from many, many different countries that do not use the US Dollar as their main currency. Yet we set the initial currency as the dollar as it is understood worldwide. We cannot predict the world wide financial markets and the reduction in the vale of $1 and so we have choices to make this end.

First choice is do we switch currency, to say pounds sterling? The answer to that is a resounding no at the moment, but we may have to charge in £ in the future.

Second choice is do we raise license fees? This has to be the answer in the short term for our company. We do not want to increase the monthly license fees at all but the value of the dollar when converted to pounds £ is a huge concern for us as it effects every part of our business since we are a company based in Great Britain.

From September 1st 2011 we will be increasing all license fees by circa two dollars per month. This will apply pro rata for each license plan. Please click here to see new pricing.
