The price point is not ideal for what Standard Notes offers on top of their free tier. They can price their offering however they want to simply because they have positioned themselved as the only game in town when it comes to private synced notes that you don't need to geek out to use daily.

Don't have anything to comment on the macOS app as I am not an Apple user, but they have vastly improved the PC and Android versions of the app not too long ago. My thousands of notes load almost instantly compared to what was a slow boot up a couple years ago.

If you are in for an upgrade to the paid version you probably can get a deal with them if you ask them directly. That may bring down the monthly cost to roughly $7 for the top tier plan or you can go even cheaper if you use my username.
