Freeware Apps now became pay Apps on the AppStore

[manuelmagic]

Hi,
Since the AppStore opened some freeware Apps became pay-App. 🙁 Most famous probably are Growl, Cyberduck, WhatSize.
In the past weeks I read about others ex free Apps now sold on the store. Can someone help me recall their names?

Thanks

You can still get growl for free, I don't use cyberduck so I cannot answer to that.

I don't have a problem with developers trying to earn a living and given Growl's low low price, I don't think its a problem.

I don't know of any other apps that went from freeware (or donationware) to a paid app however.

Conversely, some commercial apps have got cheaper when they've been made available through the app store!

I'm waiting for Adium in Mac App Store for $2.99 🙂🙂🙂

Growl had different developers. It is not the same group doing the new version, so it really isn't going from free to paid. New owner's developers are using the Growl name and selling it, but free version is still available.

cyberduck is free on the developers site. They only charge for it on the mac app store
