The subscription pricing for Bandwidth Pro will be reduced, starting on 1.11.2024. The new prices will be 0.99€ per month, 9.99€ per year, or local equivalent amounts in your country’s currency.

These changes come after a lot of feedback from and discussions with users on the initial subscription pricing. I hope to better reflect the value of Pro features offered to you with the new prices. Thank you all for expressing your thoughts.

If you have purchased the subscription pricing at its initial price, I am very grateful for it. There is sadly no way for me to adjust or refund existing purchases, however, should you wish to continue your subscription, the price will automatically reduce with your next renewal.

Allow me to explain how the initial subscription pricing came about. As Bandwidth Monitor has always been one of many side projects of mine, it has become increasingly harder to justify spending much of my free time on development, maintenance and support. The subscription model was never meant to make money, but rather generate a little something to treat myself for what the app has accomplished over the years. At the same time, my wish was to increase the rate and quality of development on the app. My thought was that the most invested users would see the value in the Pro offering, while most users would continue with the existing offering. Although I am aware Bandwidth is for a very niche and specialized use-case, I obviously overestimated the impact of the subscription and its initial pricing on all types of users.

As previously outlined, I still have a lot of ideas for future versions of Bandwidth, and would love to see you come along. Your feedback is always welcome.
