All apps require maintenance to ensure they continue functioning smoothly as mobile operating systems are upgraded. This means that they need a consistent - even if small - revenue stream to pay for development and support costs.
Some companies offer free apps by monetising your data or marketing certain devices to you. Others split their offerings into two tiers - a ‘basic’ free version and a more complete ‘premium’ version. We don't do this because we want everyone in our community to be able to enjoy all of Read Your Body’s amazing features as equals.
As a non-profit we request modest support payments from all users. This allows us to maintain and improve the app while upholding the highest standards of data privacy and remaining fully independent / accountable to you. Pricing is set to be accessible even to those on low incomes.
Thanks so much for your kind and precious support which makes this non-profit work possible!
