Has Appery Doubled Pricing for Accounts

I let my account go back to a starter for a time because I was on the road and not able to use it, Now I decide to come back and upgrade back to standard only to find the prices have more than doubled
Not all of us can afford to pay a year in advance Max and to make a customer pay double for a month to month is more than a little steep.
I moved away from learning to use eclipse because Appery was an affordable option
shoot I had an standard account with you guys for over a year without publishing
Your pricing notice said $25 per month for month to month not $45 !!! ???

Standard
$19/month

$25/month

Pro
$56/month

$75/month

Premium
$135/month

$180/month (unchanged)

I hate to call the time I spent learning your system a wasted effort but I will not pay 45 per month

We changed the Standard plan pricing back in August. Here is a blog post about it: http://blog.appery.io/2014/07/upcomin.... We also mentioned it in our August news letter. If you purchase the annual plan, the per month cost drops to same price of $25/m

This is Netflix all over again. You guys should learn that must platform are not charging what you are charging us, which is quite pricy; plus your platform is still lacking in many areas, for example, a sample side menu in ionic leaves most of us wondering how to get it done.

You have not added any new services, you are reducing the amount of apps from 14 to 7, and jacked up the prices at the same time by half. That is pure greed and extortion. Just because you can increase the price because you have a decent platform needed by developers, does not mean you should do it. Platform are becoming ubiquitous, and getting better everyday, while your platform maybe in the forefront, in six month it could become dinosaur.

We members joined, and learned your platform, you cannot change the price on us. The least you could do as good business practice is grandfather current members with all their setting. That is how you are rewarding us! Without us, your platform will simply cease to exist.

That is why we developers love opensources. Control, control, control, we hate! We hate being taken advantage of, especially by another developer who should know better. The software industry is ephemeral, make the right decision before it's too late. Xcode tutorial videos, and courses are well documented too, and new languages like Swift, Go, and may other platforms are right around the corner.

If it's the owner of the platform who is raising the prices, your need to fire him/her. If it's the CEO, your need to fire him/her too. They will drive this platform to the ground.
It's fair warning.

I will be leaving your platform when you raise the prices, and reduces my 15 apps to 7.

Shame on your!

Hello Ethan,

We are very sorry that you aren't satisfied with our future updates. Please notice that existing plans will stay the same - the price and number of apps won't change until you make some changes in it.
Please look for more information here: https://appery.io/pricing/ (question My plan is grandfathered. Anything I should know about a grandfathered plan?) and here:

But as we are going to use your platform in the future ( This includes upgrading our plan, buying new plans), we will be subject to the new prices.

Moreover, you reduced our quotas as well (App limits, API calls, storage all are reduced DRASTICALLY).

In effect, your new prices are probably 3x to 4x more expensive.
We will find it hard to persuade new clients to use appery since the maintenance is so freaking expensive.
