No but there are paid carts out there that have not raised their prices when adding PA-DSS certification. That said, a base X-Cart license is still cheaper than any of them even with X-Payments. Others are running $600 - $1,000 at the low end and you don't get unlimited upgrades - you'll pay an major version upgrade fee or an annual update subscription.
Honestly, the free upgrades for life at the price-point of X-Cart isn't a great business model if we want to see Qualiteam advance the software. I would have no problem with paying for major version upgrades or an annual update subscription fee - if X-Payments was included and actually integrated into X-Cart like other carts instead of being split out as a separate application.
