I get it, people gotta make a living. But that is seriously scummy design 😒
I can recommend Ivory, it's from the same developers that made Tweetbot.
Subscription price is $1.99 per month or $17.99 per year, which I think is somewhat justified. Yes, one-time payments are usually my preference, but as a developer I understand that keeping an app for a social network up-to-date is a huge task that never really stops.
bean is planning to charge $50 for lifetime lol
From reading the comments here why are there so many ios mastodon apps with subscriptions
Mastodon is FOSS ffs
Mastodon is, iOS on the other hand… >!free in terms of price, but it is on an Apple device ¯\_(ツ)_/¯!<
Also that may be a prejudice with regard to "if you have enough to buy Apple, you have enough to pay for everything"
