GPGMail: Rental software - not acceptable - way too expensive
Further use of GPG Mail is not acceptable for me. You will charge 23.80 EUR for each major version and you say you will release a new major version with every major macOS release so this means I have to pay 23.80 EUR each year just for GPG Mail. So this is in fact again that greedy rental software model. I know that it takes effort to adapt the mail plugin to new OS versions. However using PGP with mail is a fixed functionality. There is not much room for improvements and new fancy features. It’s simply end-of-development and needs no further features. Paying 23.80 EUR per year just for platform adaption is way too much. I will not support this business model. I will uninstall your software. Und jetzt les ich, dass ihr in Wien hockt und ich tipp auf Englisch. Naja, sehr schön gemachtes SW-Package aber ich nutz es viel zu selten und dafür ist es dann viel zu teuer. Jedes Jahr oder mindestens jedes zweite Jahr Miete zahlen sonst ist es kaputt. Das ist nix. Schad drum. Kassiert halt einfach Micropayment pro verschlüsselter Mail. Das wär doch ein guter Schmäh.
Expected
Ich bin raus. Geschäftsmodell taugt nicht für mich.

Hi Sven,
"There is not much room for improvements and new fancy features. It’s simply end-of-development and needs no further features."
We think otherwise.
But you are free to remove GPG Mail if you are not using it often enough to justify the price. That is of course something we can understand.
This KB-article explains how to uninstall GPGTools or GPG Mail only.
Sorry to see you go.
Best,
steve
