Do people really drop 8 bucks every month for things like this? I'm not trying to be hurtful or condescending to the authors.
I just feel like there is such a large disconnect between me and the people I know vs these new SaaS products popping up everywhere, each asking for 5-15 dollars each month. ~10 years ago I was totally on board when these same products where a one time AppStore purchase in the 1-5 dollar range. I wonder what changed.
Maybe it has something to do with me earning 1/5th of the average SV salary.
- avdept 4y agoIt depends on usage. If you use it once - then there's a free plan for that. But if tool helps you to generate income and makes if faster/easier - I think its fair to ask 8 bucks
- rglover 4y agoThis attitude is incredibly destructive and leads to a situation where the only options/solutions available are mediocre, corporate drivel. Even if it's not for you, people building stuff independently (and charging for it so they can sustain effort) should be celebrated, not scorned.
- manuelmoreale 4y agoYou’re not alone. And imo the reason is, as always, money. Once developers/companies figured out that they could earn a lot more using subscriptions everything turned into a sub. Plenty of subscription, web based projects used to be standalone apps you were only paying for once. But this is the world we live in unfortunately.
