OmniFocus for iPhone was launched at the beginning of the iPhone's App Store in 2008, so it wasn't other iPhone apps we were looking at. Instead, we were surveying what was available for BlackBerry, Palm, and (I think? it's been a while) the Windows Mobile markets. There were quite a few, but all of the quality apps were between $50 and $100 and none of them were as capable as OmniFocus.

OF for Mac is $80, with the potential for upgrade discounts; OF for iPad is $40, with no discount potential.

I was specifically thinking of our most expensive apps, OmniGraffle and OmniPlan.
OmniFocus for iPad was (and is) actually better in many ways than our current Mac offering with its addition of Forecast and Review modes, as well as much clearer navigation—though it was also more limited in others (no scriptable navigation), so on the relative value scale it seemed roughly equivalent. (To this day, many people tell me that they prefer the iPad app to the Mac app.) Its 50% discount relative to the Mac app's price is largely because of this problem of not being able to offer discounts to existing customers through the App Store. (This discounting problem isn't just limited to upgrade discounts: we would also love to offer bundle discounts to people who have purchased the other editions.)
