Julia Petryk of MacPaw tells me that Setapp now has 10,000 paying users and another 200,000 people who are using it in the free 30-day trial mode, which can be extended by encouraging a friend to sign up. No one would buy all those apps, of course, but if they did, it would cost $2437.

Setapp Numbers - Nearly halfway through Setapp’s first year, it’s time to take a look and see how it’s doing. Just as Netflix does with video and Apple Music does with songs, Setapp’s pitch is that $9.99 per month ($120 per year) will be less than you’d spend on buying and upgrading apps individually.
