Pixelmator has quickly become a reference for image editing in the Apple ecosystem, the app now has millions of users who trust it and also fantastic features. Unsurprisingly, all this has a cost, the creators of the application are looking for long-term profitability to continue the development of the app and do better than the competition.
Pixelmator moves to monthly renewing subscriptions
Change of program for Pixelmator, the application modifies its payment system and offers a subscription pricing which is clearly less advantageous for new users. The app is now available for a monthly subscription of 4,99€ or an annual subscription of 23,99€, current customers continue to receive “unlimited access” at no additional cost. The good news behind this announcement is that an option single purchase is still available for $59.99, which is a huge increase from the previous single price of $7.99.
Faced with the disappointment of users, the Pixelmator team recognizes that the new approach of paying for a subscription is bad for users’ wallets. However, app executives claim this is necessary for “Pixelmator Photo can continue to be developed in the future”.
Pixelmator also presented its application Pixelmator Photo for Macshe is described as a “fully native program” and “developed specifically for an optimal Mac experience”. If you already have a subscription to Pixelmator Photo for iPhone/iPad, you will get Pixelmator Photo for Mac no additional cost when released in Q4 2022 or early 2023.
