To be honest… $50 is for more then 20 high class professional Adobe
products like Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Indesign Acobat Pro,
Dimension, After Effects, Premiere, Spark, Muse etc etc. Allways the latest
versions, support and a lot of tuts.
Using just one like Muse you pay around $20,- VAT included. For
professional use its one dollar per day… where are we talking about? A
fresh beer is twice the price.
There’s a growing Muse community and tons of tuts. Yes it has its limits.
But also has Blocs, Sparkle and in comparison is Freeway a fossil. Webydo
is also for non coding designers, is great too but has a steep pricetag!
I’m looking forward to a high standard all new Freeway, but in the meantime
is Muse the one that let you design your site by your own creativity, not
by templates.

Oh, Blocs is now only $39,- at Mighty Deals

$50/month is a freaking LOT of money! Not everyone here is “in financial
danger if you can’t pay a measly $50/month to Adobe,” either. Not everyone
who uses Freeway is in the same boat.
There’s a reason SERIF is doing well with its excellent subscription-free
Affinity Photo and Designer software. Publisher is forthcoming too. I
doubt Serif would be doing as well if Adobe did not have a subscription
model because their competing product would not be needed as much. It will
take years for Serif to truly dethrone fat-and-sassy Adobe, but I look
forward to that day with the greatest of zeal, as do countless others in
the graphic design world.
With a subscription, you could pay that $50 per month religiously for 10
to 15 years, only to find yourself one day unable to pay for some reason,
and you’re then left with a bunch of documents and a dysfunctional app.
If MUSE was a one-time buy, I think it would be a rather excellent
product. But it’s not so I cannot even ponder it for a second. I ponder
the future of Freeway, and I also ponder the future of Blocs, which really
is a very promising app that is quite good even now, for people who don’t
need site-search and responsive tables (for tabular data).
