Was ready to buy this until I saw it is a subscription, not stand-alone.
- selykg 3y agoPrice seems fair, honestly. The full blown app is like $70, plus upgrades when those come.
- latexr 3y agoI’d gladly pay 70$ for this, for myself and maybe a couple of friends, if it were a one-time purchase. As a subscription, I just closed the page. Several apps on the Mac App Store have both subscription and lifetime pricing. I’ve bought several.
- lapcat 3y agoThe non-Mini version of Little Snitch is a one-time purchase.
- latexr 3y agoThe non-Mini version was such a hassle to maintain¹ that I stopped using it². This looked like a great middle ground, until the subscription part. ¹ I don’t want to become a networking expert and babysit everything. I already practice good security regarding what I install and run, I just want a little more control. ² And if it was a bother for me, there’s zero chance any of my non-technical friends would last an hour.
- selykg 3y agoI forget what it's called but there's a mode you can put Little Snitch into that it allows whatever goes through and you can monitor it by opening and reviewing when you want. I think that's fairly similar to what mini does. This turns off all the nagging. This is actually what I did last time I used Little Snitch, it helped a lot. When I installed a new app I'd use it for a bit, then review in LS and see what it was doing. From there I could allow or disallow whatever I needed. It's sort of the reverse of "block everything until allowed"
