Discounted Upgrades
If you’re not on the list for a free upgrade, you can still get a discount. From the About screen in AppStudio, click on the upgrade button. You’ll be taken to the order form, where you can order the upgrade for $49.95 (a new copy is $199.95). It includes 4 months of AppStudio subscription: after that, you’ll have a discounted subscription of $9.95 per month. (regularly $15.00).
I would rather not have the monthly subscription as I use my own servers but I fully understand the financial model.
I don’t mind paying a little more up front instead of for a monthly subscription. It is certainly worth it and, I think, your $49.95 is a bit too low. Mind you, it is US$, not CDN$, correct? But even still.
