Ulysses is interesting, but what justifies its high purchase cost (the Mac app costs over 60 CAD)?

  I own, use, and enjoy Ulysses, but I wouldn't buy it at its current price.

    Edit: It's fantastic software, but I wish it handled images as simply as Quiver.

      I agree. If inlining images would be as easy as in Bear, I would be very very happy. As it stands, I have to preview my document to see the images

  It's more a full blown, fully customizable writing app targeted at writers. Using it only for notes is probably not doing it justice. In any way, my point is, I personally rather pay a price and own the piece of software than renting an app. In the case of Ulysses, I can still use the same version that I currently own in 10 years even if the company behind it goes out of business (given it will still run on our machines that we use at that point) + updates until the next paid upgrade (if that happens). I am not locked into a sync solution and can freely switch from iCloud to Dropbox to <other folder sync technology> to make it future proof. Bear on the other hand is even more uncertain. Sure, the subscription is helping the developer to keep the app running but once I stop paying that, I will loose crucial features. Also a subscription doesn't guarantee that something unexpected will happen to Shinyfrog (the company behind it).
