If I were basecamp I’d be tempted to pull my apps over that passive aggressive bullshit.

I was thinking the cheeky thing to do is charge $100,000 for the in app version. It’s technically there but even if someone clicked it almost no cc would allow the charge through.
If apple’s store provides value they should be able to capture some at a higher price point. Charge $149 for it on the store, $99 on Android and web subscriptions. Get some of that sweet “apple tax”
AFAIK it's also against App Store policies to charge different prices in the app and outside.
If that's the case I don't see where it's clearly stated, unless they consider that to be a "rip off".

Doubt that Apple would let that pass. I Am Rich got pulled from the App Store because of its egregious pricing.
