I have tried my best to keep the price as nominal as I can. In an industry smeared with over priced and money making deals, I wanted to create something that is accessible to everyone and also workable for me. If you have any suggestions re pricing, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Bukusarkar@gmail.com
