App Store apps can be free or paid. However, many free apps include in-app purchases or a subscription system to keep all the features available. A change has just arrived to Pixelmator Photo, one of the best apps for editing photos on iOS and iPadOS. From now on, This is a subscription app for new users with the ability to access the full app through a one-time payment. We tell you about the changes of this new model after the jump.
Pixelmator Photo developers are changing the subscription system
Pixelmator Photo is one of the best apps for editing photos on iPad or iPhone. It uses a large number of Apple SDKs, so it always includes new features from all operating systems. An example of this is the integration of technologies such as Metal, Core ML or Core Image that allow increasing processing speed in addition to retouching RAW photos directly from the application.
Until now, Pixelmator Photo was a $7.99 one-time payment app. However, a few hours ago, the developers of the app announced on their official blog a change in the price of the app and a detailed explanation of the reasons. Pixelmator Photo is now a subscription app accessible only through a monthly, annual or one-time payment.
Here are the current prices:
- annual subscription $27.49
- Monthly subscription $5.49
- Still $54.99
In other words, a person can make a one-time payment of 54.99 dollars and no longer pay for the application. However, if you want to make a monthly or annual payment, when the payment is due, you will have to pay again. This is how subscription apps work.
Users who already purchased the app before this change you can enjoy the full version of Pixelmator Photo without having to join this new subscription system. On the other hand, the same blog announced the launch of a version of Pixelmator Photo for Mac that will revolutionize photo editing on macOS, which will arrive at the end of the year.
