I was only talking about my experience, i sure compare stores before i buy a plugin and end up never buying from plugin boutique with two exceptions… if i want to go the rent-to-own route ( i end up buying Avenger 2 on sale but in RTO mode , it was a no brainer), or if i really like one of their freebies. Otherwise i always come to the conclusion that is cheaper elsewhere.
But im from Portugal, and maybe it is different in other places in Europe🤷🏻♂️
