How about this Pricing structure (*=2025 current pricing shown)

New Customers
BiaB Pro $129*
Program Addons (AO)
VST3 Support $10
The Chord Builder $10
Guitar Tuner $7
Ear Training $7
Practice/Wood Shedding $10
Jukebox $5
Lyrics $10
Auto generate Song title $7
File Utilities $15
Total for all AO $81
Total cost for BiaB Pro cost of each addon, if the user wanted all addons his total cost would be $230
Now if he only wanted these addons
VST $10
Chord Builder $10
File Utilities $15
Total for Addons $35 and BiaB Pro for $129 his total coust would be $164

****************************************************

For users that are Upgrading, they need to call to get the best pricing, based on how & what they currently own.
For example:
Joe user has owned the program for over 20yrs and has the Audiophile package download and pays $619 +20 for all addins
Tom has owned the program for over 7yrs and has the UltraPak package and pays $469* +20 for all addins
Now Larry has owned the program for over 3yrs and has the MegaPak package and pays $269* +and only these addons
VST $10
Chord Builder $10
File Utilities $15
Total for Addons $35, but gets a discount costing him $15

This is just a thought, Users buy what they want and not get the things they do not want.

So as for Pricing, only PGM can tell us what I would be.

I hope you are joking! A pricing model like this would be pure chaos and almost certainly put PGM out of business very quickly! Just imagine how much extra workload this would create to break all of these bits and pieces out to sell separately! Every possible config would have to be tested. And the confusion it would create among users would be insane!

Nope. Anything even remotely like this and I would be done with any further upgrades.
