I am fundamentally not interested in managing monthly bills for things. You won’t win me by asking for recurring donations. Just ask me for ten bucks for some one-time symbolic upgrade.

Also I’ve recently been back on the App Store for the first time in a long while. WHAT IS GOING ON?! The gall for simple, offline only apps like a little piano keyboard to want monthly fees for continued use. There isn’t even an illusion of continued feature adds or some recurring service.

you can still do a "signal boost," which is a one-time contribution (and also comes with a 30 day badge)

So you don't have any insurances?

[julianwachholz]

We pay most of these large bills once a year and as a thank you we get a 2% discount or alternatively they don't charge us extra for each month's bill.

I do wish more services permitted annual or multi-year billing.

An insurances covers risk over time. That is a completly different thing than a little app that hardly gets any new features and doesn't require expensive server infrastructure to run.

Obviously I’m not saying I don’t have any recurring fees. But I’m not about to have fifty more recurring fees because every app wants ARR.
