    Bruh, you can’t spare two whole dollars for something you’re going to be using every day? Like, I use Jerboa, which is free, but I still signed up for dessalines patreon to support their work.

    The future is either free to use, but put up with ads, or pay a meager amount to support the developers so ads arent required to sustain the product.

      Or, we can just like …buy it once…like most other software that isn’t tied to a first-party hosted service?

      I’d like to unsubscribe from your vision of the future

        There will be an In-App Purchase later on. Keep in mind this is a beta and not the full release. For the beta the option is ads or ultra. For the full release it will be ads, pro (one time purchase) or ultra (subscription).

        I’m somewhat with you on this, but most software that’s updating its pricing or is new, is using a subscription model. 2$ really is fine I think, even less with the yearly thing. I’d still like to see a OTP

        These prices are for Ultra. Ultra is voluntary and only for super fans to support the developer. There will be a pro version that is a one time payment and it removes all the ads and is very affordable. But the developer didn’t want to start charging for the Pro version while bugs still exist and is waiting for the Beta to be over.

          The option to remove ads has been added - it costs $20 USD. The lifetime Ultra costs $100 USD.
