Honestly duplicating the infuse pricing model would probably get them what they want without having burned their user base in the process!ġ. Major releases can be purchased as a one time purchase in the App Store.

#CHATOLOGY IPHONE FREE#

You get free updates for minor releases to the major release and paid upgrades to whatever major release if you chose to upgrade.Ģ. You can subscribe to the app for $1/m and get every release major and minor as long as your subscription is active.ģ. You can purchase a lifetime subscription to the app for $60 one time and get access to all future releases.Īll subscriptions support Family Sharing at no extra charge. ~$1/m or so makes perfect sense for a Calendar App since the 'data' you're storing is all on your phone or server somewhere else. You're paying only for new features which are hard to justify paying as much as Office for. And for users like me who HATE subscriptions you can get us to pay upfront, but having it priced equal to 5 years of the annual sub only a few users will go that route.Įveryone is happier and they can have the subscription revenue from users who like that model. They can have the one time revenue from users who hate it. They also won't burn their user base and still have a bridge out for when the subscription bubble bursts.īut they didn't listen to my suggestion it seems. A shame.Ĭlick to expand.I don’t mind subscriptions if the app is really important to me and they have, say, recurring server costs. But these days, every developer is looking for ways to add subscriptions to their app. Apple built a pretty decent system for every app on the store to have access to data storage per-user on Apple’s servers, but companies keep wanting to put your data to their own servers. In many cases, I’m not comfortable with this. There are plenty of apps where I’d be happy to pay $10 or $20 every couple of years, for a new version, if they keep bringing useful updates, but the app isn’t worth $5/month to me (to be clear, a handful of apps are worth that to me). Subscriptions at non-trivial prices tend to separate out the handful of users that really depend on the app from the sea of users who like the app but don’t need it to survive. Companies are making the decision to turn their backs on this latter category of casual users, either with the expectation that their most dedicated users can carry them, or the misperception that a lot larger percentage of their users are enormous fans of the app.

In my case, I loved Fantastical, used it every day, and recommended it to lots of people, right up until the release that coincided with the subscription model - they added a lot of features I didn’t want and/or didn’t care about, and wanted to use their servers for some of my data.
