No point asking here. No one here works for Corel. We are all just users like you...

As Ken said, we do not work for Corel. I have observed, however, that the price falls across the year, so that what you pay for the upgrade is more a matter of timing than anything else.
Had PS3, PSP3; Installed: PSP-4.12, 5.03, 6.02, 7.04 (liked it a lot & used it for years), 8.00, XI, x4.3.0.3, x6.2.0.20, x7.4.0.11, x8.3.0.13, x9.2.0.7; now using PSPx10 (PSP 2018; version 20.2.0.1 x64) on Win 10-64 b2004.

The other thing to remember is that with PSP 2019 (which is what I assume you mean by PSP 19), the exchange rate was very different. The A$ exchange rate has fallen fairly drastically over the past year or so, now about $0.66 to the US$. So that could also account for the difference in the price you are seeing...

You are probably right. Ironic when you consider that Corel was based in Canada.

I get 2 different prices here.
One like yours via popups, OR if I check under the Home Tab the upgrade price is AU$71.
I'm thinking the Popup price may be the full price because on those it shows as $119 and discounted to $95 - save 20%.
On the Home Tab it shows as $89 and discounted to $71

Because on the popups it was Australian dollars, while the website showed American dollars?

No, both ads, show AU before the $.
At present I have a popup in right corner of monitor showing - Launch Special - Exclusive offer for loyal users - AU$ 95. There is no mention of Upgrade. Button shows Learn More
If I go to the Home tab it shows as - Exclusive offer - AUD $71 - Button shows Upgrade
