I’m personally not expecting this plan to last very long (at least not at this price), so stay tuned as the drama continues to unfold. Pro users will also be able to send files up to 1 GB in size, as well as send unlimited messages through the service (limited to 100 for free users). That said, a few features, most notably mirrored notification action support and universal copy & paste, are now restricted to only those that go pro. So what does the new tier offer? Well, as I already mentioned, there aren’t really any new features here. Phil Nickinson was quick to say that the new pricing scheme is “close to a shakedown,” /r/Android Redditors are notably furious despite their love for the app, and the comment section on Pushbullet’s blog is blowing up with people claiming that the price for the new pro tier is just too high. To put it lightly, people aren’t really happy about this. Some previously free features do now require a Pro account. Pushbullet Pro is an optional premium account that has features not available to free Pushbullet accounts. I do plan on finding a way to make some money to support PushBullet eventually, but it won’t be by taking away functionality, it will be by offering additional, so don’t get too worried :)īut here we are, with the following little tidbit popping up on the Pushbullet blog:
Ryan Oldenburg, posting on Reddit 2 years ago:
What’s more, it looks like the original Pushbullet creator, a man by the name of Ryan Oldenburg, once promised that exactly this kind of thing would never happen happen… Instead, Pushbullet is simply using emotional appeals and asking for users to start paying for features that were - until today - free. Today, the company announced a “Pro” version of its app, which sadly doesn’t add any new features at all. The Pushbullet you know and love isn’t going to be the same for much longer, at least for those that don’t want to throw $40 at the company for a year-long “Pro” subscription (or $5/month).
