Hey everyone 👋
I’ll be submitting Bean to the App Store today and have finalised the pricing for Bean Pro launch.
Bean Pro is completely optional and gives you access to the following:
- Multiple accounts
- Push notifications
- Grouped communities
- Premium themes
- Accent colour options
- Comment themes
- Custom app icons
- More font options
Pricing will be as follows:
- $1.99 / month
- $14.99 / year
- $49.99 / lifetime with a discount to $29.99 for the first week
I know pricing is difficult and subscription fatigue is a real thing but hopefully I’ve got a good balance of pricing and features with much more planned including mod tools, widgets, and more customisation options.
Thank you to everyone who has helped test Bean and get it to where it is. I couldn’t have done with without you! ❤️
I don’t typically do subscripts and opt for lifetime when available.
That said, while I appreciate all your time and effort, $30 is too high for me personally, especially given other apps are free and function as well and in some cases have more features.
That said, if lifetime was $10 or maybe even $15 I would buy it even if it wasn’t (right now) my primary lemmy app - at that price point it becomes a “buy now and see what happens with development” and I’d go so far as to say it’s cheap enough to be an impulse buy.
At $15 early bird intro pricing and $30 regular pricing you’d get all the impulse buyers and FOMO folks like me, lol. Food for thought maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
