Why wallabag.it subscription will increase
History of wallabag.it
wallabag is a self hostable application for saving web pages: save and classify articles. Read them later. Freely.
For those who don’t want or can’t host wallabag by themselves, we launched wallabag.it on December 2016. wallabag.it is the quality service that you need to host wallabag. You have a quality hosting, a professional support, automatic upgrades and daily backups.
There are several subscriptions:
- 9€ per year
- 3€ for 3 months
- 25€ per year if you really love wallabag 🦘 and if you can pay this amount.
wallabag.it is almost 7 years old.
Since the beginning, we have not changed the pricing.
But our web hoster increased its prices at the beginning of the year. That’s why we decided to update ours.
