I'm not prepared to pay this amount either, especially because I believe there is no way for this to be a combined twitter/app.net client down the road. We saw this with their their separation of the apps on the iOS platform.

If it were, on the other hand, that would make me more inclined to purchase. It'd be great to combine those experiences.



Pricing is explained in their launch post, here: http://tapbots.com/blog/news/tweetbot-mac

Essentially because there are some users who will pay the $20.00 amount, and there are limited seats, they are maximizing earnings/user.


That makes a lot of sense, they make a very good case. Personally I still don't think I can stomach it for now, as I try not to run a distracting Twitter client all day on my desktop. I primarily use it on the commute.


There's no way for a combined app because the Twitter TOS specifically prohibit interleaving timelines.
