I have 3 items left before our first and maybe even last beta build. Unfortunately all 3 are things that need to run on a real device and/or testflight builds, which makes things significantly more complex to work on.

@paul the price in the beta is the price you have decided to use on release?

Can I ask why the price is almost triple of that of tweetbot? I will subscribe anyway, fantastic product, but as a fellow developer i’m curious for the choice

I suppose the reason is the reduced market share, and the increase schould compensate the fewer total subscriber to mangiane your reveneue almost stable

Additional, plan to migrate tweetbot subscription? With price increase obviously

@GiorgioRomano Good question. The price will be higher for a lot of reasons. Above anything else we want sustainable pricing, good for us since we don't have to get a real jobs, good for everyone else because their favorite app can stick around for another 10+ years.

The market is, for now, smaller but also Tweetbot was way too cheap for the value it provided. We're trying to compensate for that, while also keeping in mind that we want new users on the app and networks.

@paul @GiorgioRomano I’ve gotta admit that I didn’t remember how much tweetbot cost, so went to check the pricing to see it was still an incredibly reasonable $15/yr. You could tell me that’s what tweetbot was and I’d believe you. I was worried I was looking at like $30 or something!

@wavebeam @paul @GiorgioRomano exact same. I saw mentions of 3x and was expecting like $60. Tweetbot was way underpriced.
