Interesting comment regarding the App Store. To be honest I'm really surprised no one has ever said this to us before. We have another product - (http://urlprofiler.com/) - for Windows and Mac that we've been selling for 3 years and no one has ever given us this feedback.

We're not wedded to a price structure, although we're rolling with monthly for now. I'm pretty sure through weight of demand that we'll need to add Yearly plans in the next few months.

There's nothing preventing a Linux version (it's built in Electron) other than demand really. We'll do it if enough people want it, but we have a bunch of other features on our roadmap that are currently a higher priority.

The app store has a few benefits. The biggest one, for paid software is that if I format my computer or move to a new computer my license come over with my Apple account. I don't need to worry about remembering an account and license keys for each each.

I can't count how many apps I've paid for but I don't have installed right now because I lost a hard drive and my license keys with it.

Though I'm guessing with monthly billing it is more a username / password thing for you vs a key. (I haven't tried it yet, sorry).

The second benefit is not having to give my billing info to yet another company.

I'm not unlikely to install an app not from the app store. But I'd say I'm... complete guess here... 30% more likely to install it if it is in the app store.

And I can also say that if I have the choice between the two (same software on the app store and off), I will always do the one in the app store because of the previously listed benefits.

Thanks for the feedback, good to know.

Yeah we use a username/password so there's no issue with losing a license key.

that's not very customer-friendly... I wouldn't want to remember username/password for your website, when the App Store can just let me re-download your app without going any hassle.
