Ok, $19.99 a year isn't expensive, but Kiwi does the same as this for a one time fee that's less than half that. As I said before, yes, Shift looks a bit nicer, but what else is it bringing to the table to justify a subscription over a one-time purchase?

@frassmith I was thinking the same i use kiwi everyday and it's fantastic. But when people send me drive links or when i have to go on the google developper console or to google play account the nightmare is still here. I have to logout from one account and login into another one ...

@yecine_dhouib When did you last update Kiwi? Drive is built in now, as are Docs, Sheets and Slides as well as Calendar.

@frassmith Kiwi is 10 bucks once (Canadian!) and a super-solid product. I have a hard time paying Yet Another Subscription in the email space for a product that doesn't do all that much.

@frassmith @andreasduess @yecine_dhouib If you love Kiwi, we love you. People that use Kiwi understand the problem of navigating Google accounts. We thought we could add our own spin and have some exciting features coming in 2017. Shift is more expensive and it's a subscription... we felt that we couldn't build a sustainable business off a small one time fee. Also, we're Canadian too! :)

@tobyns @frassmith @yecine_dhouib that's fair enough - I understand the need to build a business model - however, when I am adding up my annual subscriptions, the total becomes quite the number.

@tobyns @andreasduess @yecine_dhouib Sure, you do need a business model and kudos for choosing a reasonable subscription level too. All too many startup services seem to consider the entry level for subscriptions to be $5 per month. Just for comparison, my previous favourite email client was Nylas N1, until they introduced a much more expensive subscription model…

Right now we charge $7 per month for Nylas Pro, which really isn't too much more. ;) And that gets you an entire desktop app with open tracking, send later, reminders, and dozens of other features!
