I'm not the original commenter but I'll provide my few cents.
Especially with Apple's eco-system. Most potential buyers would have an Apple account with valid payment. Reducing filling credit card.
The other benefits on both ends is app updates and the ability to have the app accessible for you even if the app website drops or anything.
Having said that, that's one opinion and I'm pretty sure that other people would be happy from your current workflow that cuts less on your revenue.
> If it's on App Store and also open-source, would you still buy it?
There are plenty of such apps. The first one comes into my head is Cyberduck.
https://cyberduck.io/ https://cyberduck.io/
(Though they seemed to reduce the number of mentions about it being open sourced)
One wonder though,
Since your app is very scoped.
It can easily be universal and benefit from the entire apple eco system.
- trungdq88 6y agoThanks for the insights! I didn't know it's possible to sell the app from App Store and directly from website at the same time. I always thought Apple wouldn't approve that, but as shown here Cyberduck is doing it. I may also do it in the future too.
- pfranz 6y agoDaisyDisk is another example. They even blur the line by having the standalone app detect if you purchased via the App Store and will issue you a serial number if requested: "DaisyDisk has detected and applied your Mac App Store purchase receipt."
