New GBP prices

I see that you have now made it possible for people in the UK to pay in GBP, which is great.

What is not great is the fact that you are charging £4.99 for the cheapest premium plan.

The USD price was $4.99, which is about £3.00. How can you justify charging us Brits more than 50% extra? Especially when you're a UK-based company!

Thanks for your itnerest in Mendeley premium plans. The prices were initially chosen to be 4.99 and 9.99 numbers in any currency (€, $, £) - primarily to keep it simple for us. That said, we will change the prices later this year to account for currency differences. Rest assured that there is no malicious intent from our side.

Thanks!

That's the answer I expected. Please let me know when you begin offering the plan in Japan at ¥4.99, as I can definitely afford that :)
