What's the difference between the one time pro version and the yearly pro version?

Question

It says in the prompt when pressing the "buy pro version" that the app will update the courriers if I subscribe yearly but not if I outright buy the 1 time licence. Any difference or is it just the same. Thanks.

Hey,

thanks for your message!

In the sense of functionality and courier updates you get with your purchase, the permanent licence and the subscription are exactly the same.

The reason that I recommend the subscription model in the app is that keeping the couriers working requires continuous updates and work from my side so a one time purchase doesn't fit the nature of this app too well. So this differentiantion is completely based on financial reasons.

Comments

Is "for financial reasons" also explaining why cancelling an annual subscription is nowhere explained and as such providing a steady income flow?

That's a good point, Charles. Unfortunately, there's no way for me to offer a "cancel subscription" button in the app.

To quote from https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_subscriptions.html :
"Users can view the status of all of their subscriptions and cancel them if necessary from the My Apps screen in the Play Store app. Currently, the In-app Billing API does not provide support for programmatically canceling subscriptions from inside the purchasing app."
