It's A$838 (US$647) over here in Australia, which is the usual rip-off extra factor we have to pay for living in our fair country. It needs to be understood that the cost of delivery of software downloads is much higher to Australia as we are so far from Europe and America and the data packets have to pass through many more routers and longer lengths of fibre optics. :-)
There's no trial download version, and no educational or other discount pricing. It's a lot of money for a program you can't see or touch on your own computer. Obviously there is a need to recoup development costs, but it would be nice if they could be a bit more generous. Or even offer a subscription service. I know many people don't like subscription software, but it often makes things actually affordable in practice.
