I want to believe, but honestly think it's a premium asking price to pay for a product that's still very much in development. At $12 it's $144 a year, a price point you used to buy premium software like Windows, an office suite, or a Photo suite etc. And much of the value added along this journey atm. is from all the users/believers providing feedback and bug reports. At $6 I'd be onboard because I want to believe. Where Bear app is demanding too little for a premium product (although sort of fair given the super slow development), Capacities still seems quite rough for such a steep ask. Feels more like a business price and not one intended for a mortal private user.

Hi there,

Capacities Pro is here, and we have some good news for you. We evaluated thousands of submissions to our pricing survey. Thank you so much for your participation. 🙏

We took all suggestions and comments into account and are happy to share that we’re launching a fairer pricing model for countries with a lower purchasing power.

We are also planning to offer a student discount. If you want to get notified, you can sign up here: https://capacities.io/pricing/discount

I left Evernote because as a retired person, I can't afford it anymore. I really like Capacities, but right now the cost of the believer plan is almost as much as Evernote and offers less (although I understand more is coming). I can afford, and am willing to pay, $6/mo, and would happily do so.

100% agreed. What is the benefit of being a believer otherwise.

My two cents: While regionality should certainly be considered, I'm happy to pay for quality software that provides both value to me (the user) and the company as I use it both professionally as well as personally. I truly hope the founders can make a very good living for themselves and their employees and thus stay focused on delivering value.

Whether it truly helps them to lower prices in the beginning is a questions only the founders can decide. While notion has the "free" appeal, it also wants to cater to teams and ideally enterprise teams to make money. In my eyes, Capacities should strive to become the "All-in-One" app for individuals rather than bolting on tons of collaboration features. This means they can't rely (for now) on large companies purchasing many licenses.

I also wouldn't want them to get distracted by creating the growth hack features that helped notions marketing success (i.e. Templating Options with comissions for influencers to enter etc.), but remain focused on the core product (similar to Noteplan).

My two cents: Part of Notion's growth (and Evernote's, and others) has been the offering of a scaled down plan that withholds access to some desirable features, but gives enough rope that a person can use it and make it their primary PKM tool. Capacities grows on a person -- it did me -- and once people find their groove with it, and dangling the carrots of AI, aesthetics, or whatever will be a gateway to pro upgrades for many. It's been proven, and I think it would really help some of those here who love Capacities to continue to use it and possibly upgrade down the road. Get 'em in and Capacities will sell itself.

Secondly, I really like Reflect's and Roam's model: One pro plan with one price which opens the door to everything. It's just simpler. But there could be an Enterprise plan, as well, which makes collaboration available -- something your typical personal user doesn't care so much about.

Would love to become a believer but the price in my currency is $19/month after conversion. Not discounting the value but love the idea of being a believer at a fair price based on region pricing.

I like the believer plan, but its out of my budget. Are there any plans to reduce the pricing, for university students?

Yes please, some acknowledgement for early adoption please.
