Everything is going up.

The cost of eggs and milk keeps rising regardless of animal-borne viruses, yet eggs and milk has been the same since it was innovated. They've not made any changes to warrant a price increase.

WHMCS / cPanel increase their prices every year, however ClientExec, DirectAdmin and Blesta haven't raised their prices yet.

XF 2.4 - XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?

Where are we? TL;DR: We're working hard to release XenForo 2.4 ASAP, but it's taking longer than expected due to scope changes and strategic decisions to wait for certain upstream developments that will benefit the long-term roadmap. Here's an analogy to explain why: Software development is...
