I call FUD. From their website: “Free Upgrade – Purchase 1Password for Mac or Windows today and receive a FREE upgrade to version 4 when it becomes available.”

How are we suppose to receive free upgrade if purchasing via Mac App Store?

  The upgrade won't be distributed as a new product. They'll just release version 4 as an update to the same product as version 3.

  It will likely be a free update on the MAS.

  Isn’t that the point of the Mac App Store? It doesn’t offer developers the option to charge for updates. The current version is 3.9.6 – if you once bought 1Password in the Mac App Store, you’ve likely received countless free updates already.

    The workaround for that is simply to release the update as a new app. So, your customers could buy App 3.x and receive updates for App 3.x through 3.x+n, and then App 4.x is released separately.

      I don’t see how that’s relevant. The publishers have stated they will provide a free upgrade to v4. I was answering the question of how such a free upgrade could work in the App Store, which is simple: the App Store doesn’t even support paid updates, only free ones.

Though I've never tried 1Password I'm also a happy and content premium subscriber of LastPass - On my Mac, office Windows, Android and office Linux.

I didn't read the page, but it isn't FUD; this is how they have handled every other upgrade in the past. I'm glad that they chose to change their mind on this one.

  Given that you didn’t actually read the page, I gather you didn’t mean to mislead. By casting doubt over the offer and then plugging a competing product it came across as such. I guess I was cut by Hanlon’s razor once more.
