Hey everyone 👋

I’ll be submitting Bean to the App Store today and have finalised the pricing for Bean Pro launch.

Bean Pro is completely optional and gives you access to the following:

  • Multiple accounts
  • Push notifications
  • Grouped communities
  • Premium themes
  • Accent colour options
  • Comment themes
  • Custom app icons
  • More font options

Pricing will be as follows:

  • $1.99 / month
  • $14.99 / year
  • $49.99 / lifetime with a discount to $29.99 for the first week

I know pricing is difficult and subscription fatigue is a real thing but hopefully I’ve got a good balance of pricing and features with much more planned including mod tools, widgets, and more customisation options.

Thank you to everyone who has helped test Bean and get it to where it is. I couldn’t have done with without you! ❤️

    Oberall: Nicely done in a short timespan!

    I am willing to head for the one-time purchase. Are the prices in test flight build already discounted?

      Yep, prices in TestFlight should be accurate. While in the test environment no payment will be taken

        Odd, you already said, that you let Apple adjust the prices, but it’s 35€ which would still be about 38.55$. But never mind: full price would also be justified, by the look of the App. I’ll patiently wait for the App Store release.

          Worth noting that US pricing doesn’t include sales tax (that gets added at checkout as it varies state to state), so when added it probably comes out around the same.
