Flexibits Launches Black Friday Sale Offering 50% Off Premium Subscriptions

[MacRumors]

Flexibits today launched its Black Friday sale, offering 50 percent off your first year or 50 percent off your first month of Flexibits Premium, which includes access to Fantastical and Cardhop. This offer is for new customers only and will run through Cyber Monday on the Flexibits website. The subscription supports apps across macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.

Fantastical is a calendar app that can sync across apps for Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Similarly, Cardhop can sync across Apple devices and provides a more in-depth contact management platform.

Flexibits Premium Subscription (50% OFF)​

You can get the deal by following this link to Flexibits' website, and clicking on the header to redeem 50 percent off your next purchase. You'll need to create a Flexibits account and once you finish the sign-up process, the 50 percent off sale will be applied to either option you choose: an annual subscription or a monthly subscription.

Additionally, you can choose either an Individual or Family Plan option. With the half-off savings, Individual Plans billed yearly cost $20.00 (originally $39.99) and billed monthly cost $2.50 (originally $4.99). Family plans billed yearly cost $32.50 (originally $65) and billed monthly cost $4.00 (originally $8).

This sale is for 50 percent off your next purchase on Flexibits, so whatever option you choose will be the only time you can get this deal.

It's a fantastic app. (no pun intended.) Geared towards a more professional class. The overal price is fair for that market. I have been using it since 1.0.

 

[BootsWalking]

I'd rather pay 100% for a perpetual license than 50% for a subscription.

I’ve replaced all the apps I had which went to subscription model

 

[9328969]

Fantastical is great and I don’t mind subscribing. But it would be nice to get a discount as a current (and longtime) customer.

 

[MacFin]

I use BusyCal and BusyContacts which are both beyond excellent. Neither of them requires you to subscribe, you just pay once and keep it forever (unless you want major updates).

Same, but these companies aren't stupid. Sooner or later they'd make sure that the old version wouldn't be compatible with the old OS, the old hardware or both.

I use Fantastical for a medium sized month widget on my Home Screen/Lock Screen and that’s it. They went sub and I moved on.

 

[1Peace]

Bought previous version, currently using nonsubscription setup. Would gladly pay for each release but won’t go for subscription for only calendar app.

I prefer the way Cultured Code and other companiea do it. Full release every couple of years with possible security updates for older versions. Things 1, Things 2, 3…

 

[drumcat]

I like Agenda's approach. It keeps working, but you get new features when you re-up.

BusyCal is subscription based now too.

 

[ericg301]

It’s worth every Penny.

 

[citysnaps]

A lot of people apparently don't know that if you bought Fantastical before it went subscription (I think I paid $40 for it a few years ago), it continues to run just fine, gets updates every couple of months, etc. You just don't get new features (which I don't need) that were added when it went subscription.

I'm fine with that and have it running on all of my computers/devices and it properly syncs among them.

It's still an outstanding super well-designed app. And I give Flexbits a ton of credit for keeping Fantastical supported and updated for people who don't need the new/extra features and don't want a subscription - such as myself.

Since Fantastical works better for me than the stock calendar app, I wish it had a carplay app.

Hands down the proudest snake-like devs I have ever interacted with. Part of me admires anyone who can do and say anything without giving a single care.

Ooh thanks for the rec. My Fantastical sub just renewed today, but that means I can use the BusyCal free trial for the next month and see which works best for me.

 

[SirAnthonyHopkins]

BusyCal is subscription based now too.

Where are you seeing this? On their site there's an option to buy desktop for $50 and iOS app for $6. No mention of subscription except for the Setapp service which includes way more than just BusyCal.

 

[JBinATL]

I’ve been using the “PocketLife” calendar. Purchased app. I don’t do app subscriptions.

 

[jennyp]

BusyCal is subscription based now too.

No it isn't. Not when you purchase from their website. It's a one-time perpetual licence with 18 months' worth of updates.

I've forgotten the name for that, but it's not a plain 'subscription'. Their website explains better than I can.

 

[GraXXoR]

I've been gradually moving to open source or perpetual...

I bought Weekcal some years ago but they moved the main program to a free + sub model, so the value of my program was deleted and now they are taking every single opportunity to deepthroat me with subscription ads and rancid brightly coloured "pro only" labels on greyed out menu options.

They can take a long walk of a short pier given the price they're asking.

 

[iamdmann]

Obligatory post that this was a bait and switch when it went from real license to subscription. If I recall correctly there were features lost despite the preservation of some functionality for existing customers.

 

[Station Grey]

I've used Fantastical for years on iPhone and really like it. I'd love to have it on the Mac as it's that little bit better than the (free) Apple one.

But $40... per year... for a calendar app. $400 every 10 years.

I'm sorry, but much as I'm happy to pay for quality, and happy as I am to hear of other saying 'it's worth it', I just have to admire their balls. It's not worth it. Don't be ridiculous. Unless it triggers an alert on your birthday and sends someone round with a free BJ, then it's criminally priced. IMHO.

Insane over-reaction. Expecting a BJ for $40 is criminal! Charging ¢10 a day for a useful app to people who find it useful is not.

Perhaps so. Which is why you're free to buy it and I'm free to not
