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 one time purchase for recurring service value? How does that make any financial sense?

@danielinoa @HanBrolo @marcoarment I mean, I love and respect indie developers, but to say that a subscription model is a must because of maintenance costs is just lying to yourself and to us. If you suggested that 15 years ago, people would laugh at you, even though server costs were higher. And it is not like software makers were losing money back then. There’s nothing wrong with _preferring_ this model, but let’s just be honest.
