They had long discussions about the pricing on the podcast the author is a part of (atp.fm). It went through a few iterations of one time purchase, fee for each time you free up space and a subscription. There will always be people unhappy about either choice.

Edit: Apparently both is possible in the end: https://hypercritical.co/hyperspace/#purchase

Who would be unhappy with $5 owned forever? Other than the author of course for making less money.

People who want the app to stick around and continue to be developed.

I worry about that with Procreate. It feels like it's priced too low to be sustainable.

I worry about procreate too. It’s way too cheap for what it is and it’s in the small set of apps that can justify a subscription.

This app though? No chance. Parent comment says “if you want to support the app’s development” but not all apps need to be “developed” continuously, least of all system utilities.

Is the author's desire not important here?
