It’s at that point in the process when I close out of the app and delete it.
That’s what I did.
I get it, people gotta make a living. But that is seriously scummy design 😒
bean is planning to charge $50 for lifetime lol
I understand people charging for their apps.
This feels like something else. Like, it feels like a way to rip off people that don’t pay attention to what they’re signing up for.
Right, $10 sure go for it, $15 maybe if its something spectacular. But $20? $50? lmao
Sure that’s high, but I don’t think that’s quite what makes this truly asshole design though. It’s that the trial is on a weekly subscription of $4.99 when a year is only $9.99. $4.99/week for a year is $259.48 which happens to be 2,597% more expensive than the annual subscription. They are hoping people select the trial and forget about it while they rake in an astronomical amount for a third party app for an open source social network.
I can recommend Ivory, it’s from the same developers that made Tweetbot.
Subscription price is $1.99 per month or $17.99 per year, which I think is somewhat justified. Yes, one-time payments are usually my preference, but as a developer I understand that keeping an app for a social network up-to-date is a huge task that never really stops.
Fucking gross behaviour that. I hope the app crashes and burns for that predatory shite.
From reading the comments here why are there so many ios mastodon apps with subscriptions
Mastodon is FOSS ffs
