I don't buy that
I think the perceived value of money is different depending on the income one receives. For a student with no real income, the willing to pay the price would actually need to be much greater than for a business leader whose income is 10 000 dollars a month, and yet the absolute price of 500 would be the same for both clients.

This being said, I think putting a price on a service is a pretty good way to filter people. It's not perfect, but obviously without it it would be more unfair as there would be too much demand.
