The iPhone app used to cost $4.99, the iPad app used to cost $9.99, and the Mac app used to cost $49.99. In the past, Fantastical apps were (relatively) expensive one-time purchases. Let’s talk about that new subscription model first.
But today marks perhaps the biggest shift in Fantastical’s history. The last major update to the software, Fantastical 2, rolled out slowly over time, coming to the iPhone in 2013, iPad in 2014, on Mac as a full-fledged app in 2015 and then later that year on the Apple Watch.
