(IDEA) Localized Pricing w/ Day One BRONZE
-
Day One abandoned localized pricing late last year. For those of you in the US or the EU this change was mostly not felt. However, where I live the Day One Silver Subscription is, and get ready for it…
%20 of the average monthly salary
Yeah, one fifth for a subscription for a journaling app.
I know that things like cloud storage and AI API calls cost money so I’m proposing a new plan: Day One BRONZE, only for countries where Automattic once offered localized pricing. This is heavily requested for and I think that this plan strikes a good balance. It’s basically a variation of the legacy Plus plan that Automattic can afford to provide to users. They’ve done it for 10 years already.
Device sync with up to 5 devices (not counting web & wearables) up to 5 journals, up to 5 attachments per entry, no discount on physical books, no premium app icons, no AI, less cloud storage than silver, no Day One labs.
Pricing could be 15$/year and since we know that Day One can afford to provide these services for legacy users without recurring costs a lifetime purchasing option would be really good as well. Economies fluctuate and that’s why there was localized pricing before. Users could afford Day One this year but next year maybe they can’t. A lifetime purchasing option does make sense for a plan like this. What if they stop making money from lifetime users? Automattic could charge for newer updates for lifetime users to earn money to help support server costs.
I hope that this idea is implemented soon as many localized subscriptions are expiring and people are having to switch journaling apps. There are hundreds of people on r/dayoneapp scrambling to switch even though they don’t want to. Not everybody can afford to pay 50$ for a journaling app and the team once knew this. Thanks for reading.

Would love to see this as personally I find £50 per year very steep. I dont use AI, I would happily use fewer devices and maybe limit to 10 journals and that would be amazing!
