mobile - Psychology behind $0.99 for paid apps, but $1.00 for donation apps?


I've noticed a trend (at least on the Google Play store) of application prices ending in x.99, while 'donation' apps usually end on the dollar. I see the reasoning behind the psychology that makes a user purchase a $0.99 item over one that costs $1.00, but why the trend to keep the prices on the dollar for donation items?



Answer



We want it to feel cheap when we buy but not when we give.
