one sec is a so-called “indie-app”, built by a human (me, Frederik Riedel), not a corporation. I don’t have any investors who dilute my mission to build the best app to enable healthy relationships between humans and technology. Unlike many other apps, I make money selling apps and subscriptions, not your data. If you like that approach, please consider upgrading to one sec pro.
But why has the lifetime purchase become so pricey?
One Sec has grown a lot in terms of functionality, stability, and also as a team. And in general, unfortunately everything has become more expensive in recent years.
Back in 2021, One Sec was iOS only and no features most people think were there from the beginning. It was just the Intervention, just like the free version today.
Up to now, from various intervention types, Re-Intervention, the Good Morning countdown, scheduling, block sessions, Focus Filters, healthy alternatives, intention tracking, emotion tracking, integrations with Lengo and Structured, and the various lock functions, etc. – a ton of great tools have been added that weren’t factored into the original pricing. And there are more coming soon – we’re constantly working on it!
In parallel, we started developing browser extensions, a macOS version, and an Android version – all of which are included in every purchase, which helps fund the work done so far and the work still to come.
At the same time, our team has grown. Compared to others, we’re still a small team.
But now we have Android, Browser Extension, MacOS, and iOS developers, science researchers, backend developers, people in marketing and customer support, and a UX/UI design team – all people working passionately on this app and getting paid for it.
Sure, most of us still work part-time or mini-jobs, but this tiny indie app has grown massively. And with it, the effort to keep developing and maintaining it. That’s constant work, as operating systems evolve – and so do the needs of our users, which you can see on our feedback board and our roadmap.
We can only build a sustainable business long-term with subscriptions and recurring payments.
We believe our Pro subscriptions plans are still super affordable: for just €15 per year, a user saves an average of four weeks’ worth of time each month. There’s also a 50% discount for students.
If that’s still too much money for you, just send us a message – we’ll definitely find a solution!
