A perpetual single-user license will set you back $229 (as an introductory price, with $399 being the eventual retail price), while an upgrade from Photo Mechanic 5 and Photo Mechanic 6 will set you back $179 and $90, respectively.

Variables
Automatically add EXIF camera data to your images like focal length, serial number, or ISO to metadata fields like captions or keywords.

Work faster when you copy, delete, tag, watermark, rename, resize, and add IPTC metadata to lots of photos at once.
Move, Copy, & Rename
Add capture time to filenames. Create dated folders on the fly. Copy files to multiple destinations at once. Photo Mechanic's file-management tools are incredibly powerful.

How Does PM Work For Different Types of Professionals:

Bob & Dawn Davis

Photo Mechanic is open on my desktop every single day that I’m working. It’s my “go to” program that I use all the time. It’s fast and simple, and absolutely brilliant for culling, applying caption information, and downloading to two different locations at once. The ingesting is fast as it downloads multiple cards at once. I love that I can adjust the size, resolution, rename the image, place a watermark on the image, etc., all while emailing, moving, coping, and/or saving images. It’s crazy cool and a program that I can’t live without!

Whether I am editing thousands of pictures from the World Series or dozens of iPhone pictures of my cats, I can’t do my job without Photo Mechanic. Ever since I stopped shooting chrome and switched to digital in 2003 I have been using Photo Mechanic every day on either my desktop or laptop Macs. For editing and captioning on deadline after a ballgame there is nothing better. There is a reason Photo Mechanic has been the industry standard for almost 20 years.
