$9.99 a month..
Why would an app like this require a subscription and not a one off payment.
I think many small developers are taking cue from large enterprises on how to price products without thinking it through. There was another similar discussion about a YC macOS notification widget company the other day.
- imran3740 6y agoThe $10/mo is for a subscription to Setapp, which bundles a bunch of apps into one subscription service.
- yumraj 6y agoThere has to be a reason for subscription, as in continued incremental value, cloud data storage and sharing, some sort of server backend that incurs monthly cost to run and so on. Just slapping a subscription to a regular desktop application doesn't make sense. Also, bundling is not a justification for a subscription, especially if one only cares about a single application. This is similar to the music albums which have already undergone unbundling and no one wants to see a bundling where there is no benefit to the consumer.
