#132"The full feature set, including connection blocking, extended traffic history time ranges, advanced display and filtering options and more is available as an in-app purchase."
So this means as a company using MDM, I cannot purchase it for all my employees.
MacOS devs who see IAP and subscriptions as the only purchase paths are leaving corporate purchases on the table.
We choose software we can pay for. We are fine if it's priced fairly to support the developer and the work to get to the next version. We are fine paying for the next version too.
But IAP or subs paid for by company? Apple itself doesn't support that on Macs managed using their corp device management. (And no, the user cannot buy it and expense it either, IAP/subs are disallowed on managed Apple IDs.)
Indie MacOS devs, all you have to do is also list a full retail version. You will have buyers. $2.99/month sub also sold $79 full price and a major update each 2 years with a new full retail version number? You will still have buyers, and you'll have the cash now, instead of over the 2 years.

In all fairness, you can't even buy a cup of black coffee from a 7-Eleven for that much.
Please let’s stop comparing software subscriptions to coffee. It misses the point about the recurring cost and lock in, and not everyone lives in the USA and pays high prices for coffee every day (or ever). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32738791
+1. I live in India, coffee costs me 10 INR that is 0.12 USD.

#134This page is somewhat misleading. It pretends Little Snitch Mini supports blocking but that is not true and only works in the paid version. It does clarify this at the very bottom but weird to have your free app's landing page list features from the paid version. At least put a "premium" sticker on those screenshots or something.

Your most enthusiastic users are also the ones who help you get more users. They hype your app to others and get the less enthusiastic to buy or subscribe. So by not satisfying the most enthusiastic you’re denying one of the strongest word-of-mouth and recommendation channels, which also makes you lose the less enthusiastic.
I think influencers, sorry, “the enthusiastic” tend to vastly overestimate the value of word of mouth recommendations vs recurring revenue.
How did neglecting enthusiastic users work out for, say, Firefox's market share?

#137I like this app. It's very similar to an app I already use to restrict which apps are using data called Trip Mode. With Trip Mode, I can automatically block all connections by default and only allow whitelisted apps. I don't see that mode for Little Snitch Mini, but if it had that mode, I might completely replace Trip Mode with it.

The "this product is ordained by the subreddit" effect is very real
