If an app doesn't have recurring costs involved in serving their product (server costs, etc), it's hard to justify a subscription model vs charging a one time cost to purchase the app.
To fund/incentivize continuing development of new features, they can have reasonable in-app purchases to unlock those new features.
- plgonzalezrx8 4y agoIf you understand how their app ecosystem works, then it will make more sense. They DO have server costs and other ongoing costs in their app. Doesn't mean that I agree with their new pricing system, but they do have said costs.
- KoftaBob 4y agoWhat would be an example of a functionality that has ongoing server costs? The email itself is hosted by the email provider that they're pulling from, and I don't see any features on their site that would involve any intensive server costs.
