Flexibits Launches Black Friday Sale Offering 50% Off Premium Subscriptions

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

Being free to do something is the opposite of criminality! That's how it works!

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.

$40 per year for an app I use multiple times a day across multiple devices is a steal.

Great deal, but it's still a subscription. LOL!

Honestly, I don't mind paying on a subscription model if it supports the development of the product, especially for smaller developers. Fantastical has worked really sell for me, and the feature improvements are always welcome.

I am also an Adobe Creative Suite user and if I compare what I used to pay for boxed Photoshop upgrades with what I spend on subscription fees for CS, it's not so bad, plus I know that my software is consistently up-to-date (OK -- perhaps Adobe isn't the best example, but I think a lot of smaller developers would disappear without the subscription model, as much as I dislike it).

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

I'd rather wait for a sale on the perpetual license when that's 50% off 🙂

They just price hiked it from 40 to 56.99. Time to find an alternative.

View attachment 2117810Fantastical is great and I don’t mind subscribing. But it would be nice to get a discount as a current (and longtime) customer.

Agree. It's every company. Some even tell you how to game the system by having your spouse sign as new or whatever other tricks.

Ouch. Looks like Flexibits is targeting businesses now. I find I don’t really use any of the zoom integration features and just want a simple calendar app with natural language input (which was what it started out as), and it’s come to a point where I find myself paying way too much for way too many features that I simply don’t need.

I wish BusyCal offered Apple Watch support.

When I see these icons, I immediately think of the developer and wonder how this stranger may have made me angrier about anything than I have been in my entire life. This is an unreasonable reaction to have about anything, but I give myself this one allowance. The worst part is knowingly submitting to these feelings, which puts all of the power in their hands.
