Head over to the MiddleClick GitHub page and download the latest release.The setup of MiddleClick can be a slight hassle as it requires a comparatively more time-consuming process to get it up and running. But hey, ist free and there is absolutely no issue in using it if you are OK with just 3-finger tap/click usability. It restricts you to only a 3-finger tap or clicks that, in comparison to other paid apps on this list that provides lots of customizations, is slightly less impressive. Being a free utility program, there are slight limitations to MiddleClick. It is a free and open-source application that offers you to impart middle-click features to the Magic Trackpad, Magic Mouse and the MacBook’s trackpad.
The other thing that shows is that Hazel is constantly being updated, which is far more than I can say for some apps that _are_ subscription.Starting with a completely free way to get the middle-click on Mac PCs, use MiddleClick. I'd happily pay Paul $5/year for Hazel and I'd still consider it a bargain. Since you wanted to call this a subscription, I think it's only fair to point out that subscription is, at worst, $0.57/month, and possibly as low as $0.38/month. Or if Paul goes "crazy" and decided that version 5 will only be around for 2 years, it'll be $5.50/year or $0.46/month. In that case your cost would stay the same ($55) but be spread over 12 years. Let's assume that v5 is around for another 4 years (not saying it will be, but let's imagine). 16, 2020) It was 4 years between versions 3-4 and 4 years between 4-5. Let's look at the major release schedule: Version 2.0 (Aug 2, 2007) Version 3.0 (Mar 1, 2012) Version 4.0 (May 4, 2016) Version 5.0 (Nov. BUT!!! That's not really even a fair estimate of cost/value, because the cost is front-loaded and we're not taking into consideration how long you will be able to use Hazel 5 before Hazel 6 comes out.
#BETTERTOUCHTOOL DISCOUNT UPGRADE#
Yes, the upgrade fee was higher, but is it expensive? If you have used Hazel since 2012 you paid $25 for version 3, $10 to upgrade to version 4, and $20 to upgrade to version 5. You don't switch from preference pane to app just by clicking a button. I'm not a developer, but even I can tell that version 5 must have been a huge undertaking. flynn Posts: 66 Joined: Sun 12:41 pm Location: Philippinesįlynn wrote:I feel a little cheated with the subscription model that isn't labeled as such, with prices having increased significantly. But as someone who has paid for it multiple times, the price of this upgrade feels a little high. I totally value & respect the work developers at Noodlesoft have put into this amazing software.

BTT is just as good as Hazel when it comes to update frequency and support for new OS features.

BetterTouchTool uses a similar strategy, with paid upgrades once every 2 years or so, but the pricing is much lower than Hazel's (for features that in many aspects are just as crucial to workflows as Hazel), but the lower pricing & the option for a lifetime license means that I have much more reasonable options to support the developers.

Most software doesn't cost more than $15-20, unless we look at pro software, (FCPX, Adobe, MSFT Office for example), but this upgrade alone is $20. But compared to my first purchase, which I believe was $25 for a family purchase, the current pricing feels out of line. I wouldn't mind paying $10 ish or so for the upgrade, or an optional lifetime license. If I decide to upgrade to Hazel 5, this will be my 3rd time paying for the app. I'm just a little disappointed with the pricing.
I'm also thankful for the frequent updates, the constant support of new OS almost at release time, and many other qualities that are essential in apps we rely on every day. I am eternally thankful for all the hard work devs have put into the app over the years. I love Hazel - I have been using it since 2012, although I am not as dependent on it as I was back in earlier days, it still plays a big role in my workflow.
