For reference, for the people saying I shouldn't raise my price:

Pocket Casts: $40/year
The Podcast App: $37/year
Castbox: $35/year
Castro: $25/year
…
Overcast: $10/year

I have no problem telling everyone this now: I'm raising my price in the near future.

I've only waited this long because I wanted to give you some new stuff at the same time!

@marcoarment Why not a single price with no sub? I like supporting developers. Apps I don't use much though it's hard to justify on a recurring basis.

@HanBrolo @marcoarment I'm sure they've talked at length to this point on ATP; any sensible one-time price would appear exorbitant to users. Say it was $100, now that's a lifetime customer with no more income, ever. After a few years people would start with "I paid $100 for *this*?" about their pet bug... Can't migrate existing subscribers from this SKU to a new one... the App Store forces this route.
