![]() Hopefully it will be the premier software for this purpose and virtually every musician will shift to using it, which will make it worthwhile for Mike to continue investing his time into it. The concern I have is that the pricing is so cheap that it makes no sense for Mike to put the work into it. I paid about $50.00 for a clearly inferior product (not even close) I used on a Windows laptop for a while. No offense, but it's $4 ! (for the month when it comes out) I highly doubt people want to mess with this though. Then new users don't get the unfair discount and existing users can get the discount they want. If people want, I can just release the new app at full price, and offer "rebates" for existing users, where I will have to transfer money to you over something like PayPal. So yes, I'm sorry you are losing out on getting the app for $4 instead of full price. I can't charge a different price for existing users to upgrade, but full price for new users. Or I can just make everyone mad and go with a subscription model which ensures that new users can get the upgrade for free, but will be charged something every month for access to the app.īecause of the way the app store pricing and purchasing is handled, my hands are tied. The alternative is for me to offer no discount to anyone, and anger a lot of existing users that I have already promised a discount for, or not offer the app as a new product (and instead just as an update), eliminating the possibility to use the old version in parallel, and significantly reducing any profit I will get for the new version, reducing my ability to continue supporting the app as much as I am. In this case, I'm the one losing as I'm suffering the loss of $9 per sale (on top of Google's 30% cut). Yes, new users who wait are going to get a steal by buying the new version for $4, but someone has to lose in order for me to offer a discounted price to existing users. That's why for the first month I'm pricing the new version at only $4, which is the difference in cost between the original version and the new version. I understand there is come concern about purchasing twice. And as indicated from previous comments on the thread, pretty muhc everyone has no issues with this at all. All minor point updates (IE sya, 4.1.0 through 4.9.9) free, but when it jumps to a new full number, then everyone should pay. This same argument is being run on a few other fora I go to, with the overwhelming majority in the no camp!!įWIW, I think charging for a full number version upgrade is fine. I agree with others here - NO subscription model. ![]() ![]() I could offer a cheaper subscription plan for people who only want the most basic features, and more expensive subscription plans for users who want all of the advanced features. I could take this further to offer different tiers as well. I could just do something like $1 a month which would help support continued MobileSheets development and give me an avenue to release the new update as a separate product.
