Advice on selling a desktop app
Splashify - Stunning desktop wallpapers for Mac & Windows
I've just released my first (paid) desktop app called Splashify 🎉 I'm still waiting for it to be approved on the Mac/Windows App Store before the official launch. However, I have a few questions that I'd love some community feedback on:
- Do you think a price of £3.99 (~$5.30) is reasonable for a desktop wallpaper app?
- Would you consider purchasing an app like this without a free trial?
- If I sold an annual license (instead of a one-off purchase) do you think people would renew their license?
Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated 👍
Cool idea to leverage Unsplash.
Unfortunately I'm not your target customer (I have the same background image for over a year) so wouldn't pay for this. But with that said, wanted to share some feedback because I've been thinking a lot about pricing recently for my project (www.tribefive.me for reference).
Re: free trial - I don't know that it needs a free trial. Your intro video did a really good job highlighting how Splashify works! Maybe instead, you give a 30 day money back guarantee?
Re: annual license - this doesn't resonate with me to pay an annual fee to use this product. A one time payment feels more in line.
Good luck!

Thanks for your feedback Jonathan. Your suggestions confirm my own feelings re free trial/licensing. The money back guarantee is a good idea 👍
