Why subscriptions? A one-time purchase revenue graph, even for a moderately successful app, looks like this. Yet work required only increases in complexity ā Pastel has had 40 multiplatform updates since it launched in 2020, including two system UI redesigns, and a whole new OS (visionOS).
One-time purchases just aren't sustainable, unless the product itself is also one-and-done ā and that's just not possible on a moving target like Apple's OSes. Revenue can't be inversely proportional to time
Great video. Watch it!

I'm sad that I can't make it to Deep Dish this year, but hopefully that leaves a spot open for someone else. Let's make sure these spots sell out! (And persuade Josh to do another round in 2027 š¤) If you've ever thought about going, it's a fantastic event and I had a blast last year!
