#52For $60/year, I'd expect a lot more from software that runs on my own computer with no additional services provided.
maybe you should spend a few hours researching other anti-distraction solutions... doom scrolling, and asking ai, and yak shaving...
that's what I usually do. :)

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
Because modern credit card networks and payments gateways have virtually zero friction now so subscriptions are a no-brainer for everything. It takes the same amount of effort to setup a recurring subscription stack vs a one off payment.
That doesn't answer the question that was asked. The person above didn't ask about the workflow of negotiating recurring vs. singular payments with financial services. Some other 'mysterious' factor pushed this business to monetize their non-recurring service with a recurring payment. The question is if there is even a semblance of reasoning to make this a subscription (especially one with this kind of a pricetag), o…
I was implying it. Because recurring payments are such low friction today, there is very little to no incentive for creators to offer one-off options. For every 12 potential buyers who would scoff at the recurring payments, there is one who can cover 12 months worth of revenue.

Its $29.88/year. It is $4.99 a month, which if you pay by the month would be $60, but if you're going for a year, I don't see why you wouldn't take the 50% discount
Five years ago, I paid a flat $45 fee for Cold Turkey, software which does the same thing on Windows and Mac which doesn't require I chip in for no additional work on the developer's part; It is completed software that runs on my own machine, just like Kiki.
Sure, diming $30/year is a 'better deal' than nickeling $5/month, but this is not the sort of 'deal' which this software warrants. This is not a service product, and pricing it like one is silly.

Same functions, costs less than one year of Kiki for life, and multiplatform. No AI required.

#59Cool addiction blocker product. Also ties into a strange concept whereby something has value because you pay for it as opposed to the other way around. This idea probably generalises to any kind of self help app that people normally get for free and ignore. If you can provide enough polish to justify a luxury price tag people may invest!
