Suggestion: Cumulative Developer Purchasing
-
I think it would make sense to discount the price of lifetime developer based on how much users have already spent on developer. For example, if I buy a month of developer for $15, the lifetime developer becomes $15 cheaper. Right now, there is no reason for me to buy a year of developer, because a month is plenty of time to add all the developer behaviours I need into my project and to export it. If buying a period discounted lifetime, it might be worth it, kind of like a trial. I don't know whether this works with apple's IAP system though.

Apple doesn't allow this kind of dynamic pricing. With in-app purchases and subscriptions you need to set up the pricing ahead of time. So we can't do a per user pricing.
-
@Murtaza okay, that makes sense. You could get around it by just giving lifetime developer once a user has spent more than that on subscriptions though, right? For example, if I buy developer for a few years in a row so I've spent more than lifetime would cost, give lifetime.

We could.
But that sort of ruins the "deal" set in place for life time users.
The life time option is more of a deal, if you're willing to commit with hyperPad and pay that larger sum upfront, then you get rewarded with a better long term price for your commitment.The goal (for us) is to make more money in a short term, then waiting (and hoping) a user sticks around for 10+ months. With more immediate money at our disposal we have more resources for advertising and growing hyperPad.

I guess that makes sense, it's just hard to decide whether to buy a month or save up for lifetime, especially if I end up no longer using hyperPad.
