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! ❤️

    It seems that I’m in the minority but, I find it a bit to early for prices when the app is still in (early) development.

    I wish you the best though.

      Thank you! And I appreciate the feedback.

      I would say I’m past the “early development” phase now. I’m happy with the feature set that’s included for 1.0 and Pro is a totally optional subscription or one-time purchase that unlocks premium features and customisation options.

      I hope you’ll check Bean out when it hits the store anyway. I’m really proud of it and look forward to continuing to work on it.
