Hello everyone. I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you all know Banktivity 9.5 is now available for macOS, iOS and iPadOS. Some of the major new features include:

  • Automatically assign a category to investment income on import
  • Import from Apple Credit Card (iPhone app only)
  • Deleted transactions from imports aren’t resurrected anymore
  • Reinvested dividends amount now appear gray and italics
  • Plaid connections now available by default

For a full complete list of everything that changed check out our release notes and our previous blog post.

Monthly Subscriptions Now Available

I’m also excited to announce that we are now offering a monthly subscription plan! This option is perfect for customers who aren’t ready to commit to a full year of Banktivity but still want to enjoy all the app’s features. The free trial is also available for monthly subscribers.

As of now, our monthly subscription prices are as follows: Bronze – $6.99, Silver – $8.99, and Gold – $10.99 (USD). Yes, you’ll save more if you subscribe annually, but the monthly option gives you flexibility.

Along with this change, we’re also discontinuing the “subscribe once and use forever” model. If you’ve previously taken advantage of this offer, nothing will change for you, but it will no longer be available for new customers. The reasoning is straightforward: allowing users to subscribe for a month and then continue using the app in “basic mode” indefinitely doesn’t make sense. While some may argue that an annual subscription should unlock this, it’s difficult to apply the same logic to customers who subscribe on a monthly basis for years. Ultimately, we wanted to introduce less confusion, not more.

If you decide to stop subscribing, your data will remain on your device in read-only mode. You’ll still be able to export it. If you need full access for a short time to make adjustments, simply subscribe for a month to unlock all functionality again.

We transitioned to a subscription model several years ago, and I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to all our customers who continue to support us. Every day, our team is dedicated to making Banktivity better. In addition to our frequent releases, we’re also working behind the scenes to refactor our code and improve our development processes to avoid technical debt in the future – this is crucial if we are to not just survive, but thrive for another 20 years!

Thank you again for your continued support!

One comment on “Banktivity 9.5 and Monthly Subscriptions

  • Hi Banktivity & Ian, thanks for v9.5. Just a short note to ask when you think you will be doing a refresh on the look and feel of the application? It’s looking a bit outdated? and when you look at some of the other banking apps in the App Store they look very fresh and new!! Look forward to hearing from you thanks.
