Price: $15 to $30
11 apps priced in £ or € sit outside these bands, because we don’t convert currencies.
| $15This version | The $15 licence stops getting updates after two years; only the $25 tier is a true lifetime | |
| $15This version | Major versions are a paid upgrade — Moom 3 to 4 cost owners $8 — and free updates run about a year | |
| $16Perpetual | Useless without a trackpad; on a mouse-only Mac almost none of the gestures are reachable | |
| $18Perpetual | None found | |
| $19.95This version | Updates stop when your one- or two-year window ends; the version you have keeps running | |
| $19.99This version | The $19.99 covers the 1.x series only; a future 2.0 would be a separate purchase | |
| $19.99Perpetual | Buy it on the Mac App Store — the developer's own site sells a separate web version | |
| $19.99Perpetual | Which sites work depends on constant updates; a redesign can break one for a while | |
| $19.99Perpetual | Compression only: no editing, OCR or signing, and a future major version may be paid | |
| $19.99Perpetual | The iPhone and iPad app is a separate purchase from the Mac unlock | |
| $20Perpetual | One licence covers two Macs at a time, so a third means deactivating one | |
| $20.99This version | A future Scapple 2 would be a separate purchase, as with Scrivener | |
| $21.99This version | One purchase covers about a year of updates, after which newer major versions are a fresh buy | |
| $22.99Perpetual | Company or institution machines need the $15-per-computer site licence, minimum five | |
| $23Perpetual | Whether hardware brightness control works at all depends on your monitor, cable and dock | |
| $24.99This version | No iPhone or iPad app — on mobile you edit the file in someone else's text editor | |
| $25Paid upgrades | $24.99 buys Bartender 7 only; version 8 is a paid upgrade and Pro features are yearly | |
| $29This version | Updates stop after a year unless you renew at 40% off; your copy keeps working | |
| $29.99Paid upgrades | Each major version is a fresh $29.99 purchase, not a discounted upgrade | |
| $29.99Lifetime tier | The iPhone and iPad app is a separate purchase with its own monthly subscription | |
| $29.99Perpetual | The $29.99 tier is the discounted pack; the two full unlocks are $49.99 | |
| $29.99Paid upgrades | The nodes worth having are Pro-only, which is $49.99 rather than the $29.99 standard edition | |
| $29.99This version | One year of updates included; another year costs 60% of what you first paid |
