I don't think they lowered their prices but Jetbrains did raise their prices recently so there is a little bit of price competition now. Before, Pycharm was $100 where Komodo was $250 and PyCharm worked better. Now PyCharm is $200/yr. so the $50 difference might be enough if Komodo is significantly faster than PyCharm (which is pretty slow sometimes).
Hi there, I'm the lead dev for Komodo. Just wanted to point out that Komodo IDE is $147 for individuals. The individuals price is below the fold on the pricing page, so you might not see it at first glance.

Im a former Komodo Edit (the free version of Komodo IDE) user before finally switching to JetBrain products. 3 things that come to mind:
* Komodo is built on top of Mozilla app framework. Its lighter in terms of startup time and memory footprint than java based IDE.
* Its search feature is so good that I sometimes use it to find files in my computer.
* Komodo IDE is rather expensive which stopped me from upgrading. Though I think they lowered their prices lately.

Individual PyCharm is $90/73/51 for the first three years, $51/yr after. Corporate-purchased licenses are $200/159/119 with a $119 tail.
Doesn't change your point much, but it is cheaper than you indicated (even for corporate, if the subscription is continuously renewed).
