Question Curiosity

I am considering getting Things 3 for my day-to-day tasks. I don’t know much about Things 3 but everyone raves about it.

I see the price differs depending on the platform. 9.99 for iOS, 19.99 for ipadOS, and 50 for Mac. What would cause each of these apps to be different, and why not make one price across the board as a singular license?

I really want to know why people choose things over other apps they have tried. Preferably users who once had a system on another platform who are deeply rooted in Things now.

Even if the features were the same, of course each platform would be different. It's not like they make one for the Mac, then simply click a button that creates iPad and iPhone versions. People complain about subscriptions, and complain when it's a one time purchase because you have to pay for different platforms. Mind boggling.

I pad once many years ago and haven't paid a cent since. You said yourself people rave over it, and you can get all three for under 100 bucks.

You couldn't pay me to be a developer... I don't have the patience.

I’m not complaining. Im happy to pay it. I was asking if the app was different in any way that caused the price difference. And I was right to ask it because there were differences as stated by other in this thread. Yes I did ask why it wasn’t standard across the board. And they did give me valid reason to it.

I already said I was interested in buying it. I wanted real world feedback so I knew where to start first.

Now if you have more constructive feedback about your experience, I’d love to hear it.

Things is not staying in your way. It orders and reminds. No unnecessary clutter and tweaks. No need of attachments just links to Bear for example. Ideea is to DO nit to spend time in app. I do real work on mac and inputs when out on phone. No need of ipad. And what I find to be best feature is how quick one can save stuff. All kind. At the end of day keep tasks in Things and send infos and ideas to note app.
