Hey everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹

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! โค๏ธ

Lemmy is unproven, but i think apps like Bean will go a long way towards making it viable long-term. I'm willing to take that gamble to help support the platform. Thats how I'm thinking about the pricing.

Yes, the subscription supports the app developer, but its also an investment in something I desperately want to succeed at the platform level.

I guess that remains to be seen. Even with Apollo, a far more feature-complete app for a far more robust platform with a more certain future (at the time), Ultra had been a hard sell for many.
