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 wish there was regional pricing. Apollo Ultra costed ₹29 per month. Bean costs ₹199. There’s no way I could justify paying that much for a lemmy client. That’s more money than YouTube Premium or Amazon Prime.
I found the automated regional pricing sometimes did strange things, making e.g. an annual product more expensive per month than the monthly price when it should be discounted. I ended up downloading all the prices as a csv and checking this, then manually adjusting
