The fact is that all software you buy becomes, in effect, a subscription i f you continue to use it for years. I have already, further up in this thread, given my criticisms of SetApp but what you are saying here completely misses what they are offering. Okay, so, what this tells me is that you are not a coder or, even, an observant user of software. The only way they can justify charging anything is by giving it a better UI which in no way entitles them to reoccurring revenue. Most of the things on here have an open source or free version available. Most of these apps are not worth the $0.99 one time price, and these developers shouldn't be expecting to live off the sales of one of these apps. I mean, you DO realize that this is LITERALLY what Apple has done with Apple Arcade, right? This is why so many apps have moved to a model of “upgrade” listings or IAP subs in the App Store. Better for the devs, too, as they get paid residuals based on app usage. There were also several apps on setapp that I had previously purchased or was considering, so it was a no-brainer, really: for the price of this one app, I could have the whole library.Īlso, sub models, which suck as one-offs, are actually a really good deal when bundled. I had been researching setapp, but didn’t realize that app was already in their library before I bought it from Apple. Here’s the thing: there was an app in the App Store that I very much wanted. ![]() ![]() With setapp, you may install and use *all* 160 apps for your one charge, as well as being entitled to *every* update, even the ones that are in the App Store under a new name and listing so that the devs can charge existing users again.Īlso, setapp’s library is curated, unlike Apple’s, which is filled with garbage. I don’t think you know how this service works if you really think those two things are comparable. Interested workgroups can try Setapp for Teams by following this link. Setapp's extensive catalog includes many popular apps in categories including productivity, design, writing, social media, and maintenance tools, all from approved vendors, and all apps on Setapp are available without ads or in-app purchases. Otherwise, the same apps that are available to Setapp's individual subscribers are accessible to teams. ![]() MacPaw says Setapp for Teams will remain in beta while it works to add features like single sign-on for admin management of app access, and user groups. Each person can use Setapp on one device, and each additional device is $7.99 per month. The pricing is pretty simple: For a team of four users, Setapp costs $8.99 per user per month. Since then, Setapp has grown its curated software collection to over 160 apps and gained 1 million users, and this week the service announced the public beta launch of Setapp for Teams, which offers the same raft of apps at a slightly reduced per-user pricing and single-point billing for a company or organization. Back in January 2017, MacPaw's subscription app service Setapp launched as an alternative to the Mac App Store, offering unlimited access to more than 60 Mac apps across a wide range of categories for a flat $9.99 monthly fee.
