Challenges with Unified Licensing on Apple Platforms
Historically, the Mac App Store and iOS App Store operated independently, presenting a significant barrier to offering a unified license for both macOS and iOS users. While Apple introduced changes in late 2021 to facilitate a single license for new apps, the transition for existing apps like Speech Central is fraught with challenges. Transitioning to a unified license system would mean relinquishing our existing macOS app’s listing, along with its updates, reviews, ratings, and download statistics—a step we believe would not be in the best interest of our loyal user base.
Current Licensing Model and Future Considerations
Despite the potential for a unified licensing model, Speech Central remains committed to maintaining a competitive pricing model under the current licensing framework. This decision stems from our need to generate revenue for ongoing maintenance and improvement of the app. Adopting a unified license could lead to a significant price increase, impacting the affordability for our users. Our objective remains to offer a high-value, competitively priced alternative to similar apps, such as Voice Dream Reader, which is substantially more expensive over the long term.
Conclusion: Our Promise to Users
Speech Central continues to offer unparalleled value in the market, providing a robust feature set at a fraction of the cost of competitors. We are dedicated to exploring all avenues to enhance user experience and affordability within the constraints of existing licensing frameworks. Our commitment to our users remains unwavering, as we strive to deliver innovative solutions that meet their needs while maintaining competitive pricing.
