Big news! Yaak’s commercial license is now simpler and more accessible.
Both Business and Individual plans have been consolidated into a single $50/year license. 🌟
New, simpler pricing plan
If you’re already subscribed annually, you’re now paying just $50/year. Monthly subscribers have been moved to a special $5/month plan (not available for new users).
| Plan | Period | Old Price | New Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual | Year | $72 | $50 |
| Organization | Year | $108 | $50 |
| Individual | Month | $8 | $5 |
| Organization | Month | $12 | $5 |
But… why the change?
Yaak is praised for its simplicity and ease of use. Why should pricing be different?
Any startup founder will tell you to never lower your prices, but Yaak is not any startup. I’m just an indie developer, bootstrapping an app that wins on simplicity.
…And the previous pricing was far from simple.
This confusion meant users often gave up on buying a license, since it didn’t unlock any new features anyway.
Now there’s less chance of confusion. Using Yaak at work? Purchase for $50/year. Simple.
But there’s still the problem of incentive. Which brings me to the next addition.
You can now follow Yaak’s journey to sustainability with the introduction of public stats on the pricing page.
I’ve been an indie dev for over a decade and have discovered the greatest advantage is showing people that a product is made by a real person. This is especially true with API clients where the big players have hundreds or thousands of employees.
Public revenue and other stats, displayed on the pricing page
I believe that if you can see your purchase making a difference, you’ll be more likely to support Yaak. I’ll be adding more public stats in the future as well, so stay tuned for more updates.
So that’s that.
Yaak’s pricing is now simpler and easier to understand. If you use Yaak for work, it’s just $50/year. No more confusion.
And if you want to see how your support makes a difference, check out the new public stats. Every purchase helps Yaak stay independent and continue improving.
Thanks for being part of this journey!
