Curious how big the gap was with the API costs.

    I used to use Boost. Never paid for it, not that they ever asked me to. Saw no ads, ever. So I guess the gap was yuge

      I use infinity, the same story.

      Apollo is a bit different; in my experience, apple product users are most used to subscription payment and non-free (both as in free lunch and in freedom) products. Good or bad, many other users are not used to that. Personally I would happily pay 50$ to buy a app to support the developer, but not a monthly subscription.

      Also I personally prefer to use “properly open-sourced app” (have a readable organized repo instead of a zip dump of everything in the corner of the website just to comply with GPL). And these apps are harder to monetize.
