There are a number of advantages to this new approach: New apps are being added all the time - but as of December, my SETAPP folder looks as follows: The better my app is, the more people'll use it and the more money I'll make.

What's in it for me as a developer? The deal is that I get a slice of the subscription fee based on how much people actually use my app.

The latest and greatest version of all apps (no more paid upgrades, in-app purchases or adverts.).

Access to dozens of hand picked 'premium' Mac Apps.

Same deal with SETAPP - for a low monthly fee you're getting: No way would I buy all those TV box sets outright - but I would like to see them if the price were right. What attracts me to Netflix (and SETAPP) is the 'deal'. That said, I have Netflix (subscription pricing for TV box sets) so my position is inconsistent already. Disclaimer: I hate paying subscriptions for access to stuff (especially digital stuff that is just files on disk - like music, films and apps.) That's hundreds (thousands?) of dollars worth of apps - for a few dollars each month. For a fixed (low) monthly fee you get to use any and all the apps in the Setapp AppStore.

What makes SETAPP different is that it's like a kind of Netflix for apps. SETAPP is a new AppStore (for Mac apps) created by the guys over at MacPaw (the ones who built CleanMyMac and a whole bunch of other utilities.)

IThoughtsX is coming to the new SETAPP AppStore (in addition to the Mac AppStore and Direct from this website.)
