#Setapp ltd mac
Setapp has been allowed to seemingly spring up overnight because Apple appears to be leaving the Mac App Store to languish. My experience so far suggests this shouldn't be a problem, but again, only time will tell.
This is important because if developers aren't receiving a fair share of revenue they'll soon start to remove their apps. Having fewer apps on the service means there's less competition for developers, and in turn, this should result in developers getting a more respectable amount of revenue (providing their app gets used). Ideally, I'd like the revenue to be in the $4,000+ a month range, hopefully, things will pick up and we'll get there sooner rather than later. As more users join Setapp our monthly revenue should increase, the general trend appears to be an upwards one. Setapp has generated us over $11,000 in revenue so far. Either way, they are using our apps, and that's what really counts. However, if people are okay with subscriptions they can use Setapp. I understand some customers don't like subscriptions and that's fine, they can still buy directly from us. If you put your product in front of more people, you'll sell more units (providing it's a half-decent product). Making your apps available in multiple places works just like selling products in the real world.
#Setapp ltd full
If Setapp was full of junk apps there's no way I'd pay ten bucks a month for it. If the quality of apps decreases then the subscriber base will plummet. I think this will be key to its success in the long run. This means MacPaw can make sure only top quality apps get added to the service. The service is also invite-only for developers. For example, RapidWeaver and Squash sales have stayed the same, but we've picked up more users (and revenue) via Setapp. I personally don't think it'll affect direct sales or Mac App Store sales in a negative way.
They worry they'll lose out as more and more of their users sign-up for Setapp instead of buying directly. The main concern I've heard from developers is about revenue. I do however know that I'm willing to give it a chance. I honestly don't know if it'll make sense in the long run, or if it's really got a shot at being one of the major platforms for app distribution. I've been asked by a lot of Mac developers what I think of Setapp. I will, however, list out a few of my favourites to give you an idea of the quality: CleanMyMac, Ulysses, Focused, Screens, iStat Menus, Sip, NetSpot, and of course, our own apps, RapidWeaver, and Squash. I'm not going to list out all of the 100+ apps here because you can head over to the Setapp website to see the full list. If you purchased all of those apps outright It'd easily cost more than $2,500 (USD). I personally think the service is ridiculously cheap, especially when you consider there are now over 100 high-quality apps included. You can also cancel at any time (no long-term contracts).
#Setapp ltd free
You get the first month free so you can test out all the apps, and no you don't need a credit card to sign-up. For a fixed monthly fee you get access to around 100 Mac apps. The twist here is that it's based on quality, not quantity. What is Setapp?Īt its heart, Setapp is a Mac app subscription service. I believe it has the potential to change the Mac app market in a big way.
Every so often something comes along that tries to change, or shift the way things are done.
