An impressive list of apps, great job. Hope, you'll add more. Wish you all the success!

Awesome! Just got 50 apps on my Mac, now I have power!

I've been testing setapp for the past week, and I really like it. I hope they add more apps in the future, but right now, it's a great deal.

I don't get it... How does this work? I just get all of these apps for free? I saw someone mention a subscription but I see no official mention of that on the website or the video/images.

@neurohacked During the beta period you have unlimited access to all the apps. Afterwards, the subscription price will be $9.99/Month

@neurohacked Setapp is a subscription based service. You get all the apps available there for a monthly fee - $9.99 with a free 30-day a fully-featured trial.

@kosovan @neurohacked Awesome. Do the apps delete off my computer if I don't continue the trial?

@stephenjames716 @neurohacked Yes, not automatically though. But if you not willing to continue, you can cancel the subscription anytime.
Stephen Soroka
@kosovan @neurohacked Thank you! So I'd have to manually delete them?

@kosovan I got the beta through my use of Sip and I was just curious: what selection process do you use when determining which Mac apps you'll include in the folder? Does it have to fall in a certain category or have a specific advantage over other apps?

@tiborrothschild Lots of parameters are involved: how popular the app on the market, what are the user reviews, how well the app is made, what reputation does the Vendor have, what problems doest it solve, does it fit our guidelines and ecosystem, etc...

Spent 10 minutes clicking on all apps logos on https://setapp.com/apps to discover new ones. A curated, mac app library... a bit like Producthunt, in a way. Very cool.

Used it for a few days now. Love that you can discover and try apps you haven't seen before. Found a few awesome ones, but there are many I won't use ever or I don't really like. Maybe make some profiles or categories like "Developer", "Designer", etc. Then there are apps I have bought already via Mac AppStore, which are just like $3 or so. I need to use a few more apps on a regular basis to make the monthly investment worth it as opposed to buying the few apps I use right away and pay only once. But right now SETAPP doesnt contain all the apps I would like to use such as Sketch and Bear. So at this point I value that I can kind of trial run some curated apps without the hassle of searching them on Google, but would probably then go ahead and buy it from the MAS.

@metzgereduard Thanks for the feedback, we will definitely add more apps in the future. You can also hide apps that you don't need right now, just by removing preview App. You will be able to restore them if you need in the future.
Mauro Sicard
Totally awesome! Love it and I will continue paying when BETA ends :) Hope to see more apps soon

Now if only they could get BarTender on here. ;) I'd like to hear more about developer compensation in an app like this.

@trulyadamant There are more great Apps to come! :)

this seems like a new and great idea, but ill pass for now. 70% of your apps have been in different mac bundles for ages. the ones that i care for i already bought on the app store. good luck though.

@gopietz Please let us know what apps you would like to see in Setapp? https://setapp.com/apps
Pietz Prove
@kosovan thanks for your open minded question. to be honest, i dont know. im pretty informed about mac apps in general and i believe i own the ones i want. id rather support the dev directly than letting another company get a slice of the cake. no offense. even if you added 2 or 3 apps id like to have, it would still make more sense for me to just buy them. most of your apps are in the $10-$20 region, so instead of subscribing to 4 months of your service i'd just buy those 3 apps and own them for a lifetime. but again, i believe this is a great idea for many people. just not for those who already bought a large selection of those apps you offer.
