Simplenote pricing free#
Most free services are subsidized by advertisers, which cover the costs of providing Twitter or Facebook for free, but wouldn’t ads in your notes app suck? We’re hoping this optional subscription combined with the infinite goodwill of humanity will provide a sustainable model for us and perhaps be an example that other user-centric apps can copy in the future.

Great software costs money to make, and to provide bullet-proof hosting and synchronization for the data people entrust us with requires many servers and lots of maintenance. We understand that the Simplenote Sustainer plans may seem expensive at $19.99/month or $199.99/year. Why is Simplenote Sustainer so expensive? We may introduce different tiers in the future. If you’re up for a subscription at a different price, let us know here what you’d be willing to pay per year. What if I can’t afford a Simplenote Sustainer subscription option but still want to support the app? Go into the App Store on your device, click on your profile in the upper right, and Subscriptions.
How can I cancel my Simplenote Sustainer subscription? But we’re hoping this voluntary subscription model will cover the costs, as so many people use Simplenote every day for hours and hours and rely on it for so much in their lives. If that’s the only way we could continue the service, we’d make Simplenote paid-only. Will Simplenote ever be a strictly paid app? For it to be sustainable long-term, we’d like it to have enough revenue to cover its costs, which would require about 5% of the active users to subscribe.
It generates no revenue except for these voluntary subscriptions. Currently Simplenote is sustained by the benevolence of its parent company, Automattic. We love and use Simplenote too, and we’re hoping enough people find value and subscribe that it allows us to continue development of the application and platform and the paying users will subsidize the service for all the users who can’t afford to pay. Does this mean Simplenote’s future is in danger? We replicate notes to multiple datacenters around the world and have many layers of backups to ensure nothing is ever lost. Simplenote has provided free notes and cross-platform sync to hundreds of thousands of users for over a dozen years, and we hope to do so for decades more. When you purchase a Simplenote Sustainer plan, you’re supporting the ongoing maintenance and development of Simplenote. In the future there may be other special perks and benefits for subscribers. There are currently no additional features or benefits associated with the paid plans, other than the happy feeling you may get for supporting an app you care about. What do you get with Simplenote Sustainer? The current Simplenote Sustainer plans are $19.99/month or $199.99/year. FAQs How much do the Simplenote Sustainer plans cost?
