More than a supporter — Pippin Supporters Club
Pippin's Park Buddies
We’re kicking off this year with a major update (version 2.1.0) to the app you know and love — a subscription service! Wait, before you roll your eyes or grumble about how everything’s going subscription-based these days, hear us out. You might be wondering, why? If you are, we have some answers. If you are not, well.. bear with us anyway; there are some fun as well as important stuff here as well.
First things first: why a subscription? Excellent question! The short answer is — balance. The long answer is — we spent a lot of time researching how to bring you more value without sacrificing the core of what makes Lettre.app special. Sure, we need to grow and generating recurring revenue helps us do that. But the main reason for this move is that we wanted to create something that gives you real, tangible value — more stamps, fewer restrictions, cool perks, and zero catches. In fact, the only small print around here is on the stamps themselves.
So, as a subscriber, what do you get? Well, a lot more than you’re paying for! We’re talking free weekly stamps, express mail without extra stamp costs and some sweet cosmetic items you can use to flex your style in the app. Even if you don’t use the app every day, subscribing is a way of saying, “Hey, I love what you’re doing and I want this to keep existing.” It's like leaving a little tip to say, “Keep up the good work, fam.” - in return, you also get stuff

“ Even if you don’t use the app every day, subscribing is a way of saying, “Hey, I love what you’re doing and I want this to keep existing.” It’s like leaving a little tip to say, “Keep up the good work, fam.” - in return, you also get stuff; — “a fair win-win me say””
Now, why are we taking this route? Honestly, we’re doing everything in our power to make sure you never feel like you’re missing out on features unless you pay. We hate that as much as you do. So here’s our promise: no features are locked behind paywalls, now or in the future. Our subscription service is entirely focused on enhancing your experience, not limiting it. We’ve all seen those apps that make you pay just to get basic functionality or bombard you with ads to the point where you're ready to scream. That’s not our vibe. We want you to pay only because you want to, not because you’re forced into a corner.
Speaking of ads — remember when we promised an ad-free experience? Well, we delivered! No ads, no tracking your data, and not even a sneaky affiliate link in sight. This is your space, and we’re here to make sure it stays that way. Even as a worst-case-scenario, we will try our best to make sure it is contained as much as possible and NEVER nearly as annoying as what we see as a standard in most apps
“remember when we promised an ad-free experience? Well, we delivered! No ads, no tracking your data, and not even a sneaky affiliate link in sight.”
But I’m not going to pretend this was easy. We’ve been bootstrapping this dream from day one, putting every ounce of energy into building something we’re proud of. And now we’re ready for the next step: turning this passion project into a sustainable business, powered by our amazing community. That’s you! Your support through this subscription service is what will keep us growing, evolving, and improving, all without ever compromising on the experience.
