Hello Bryce, thank you for sharing this interesting info and insight.

Re: Retro I read that is free but it has in-app offers/purchases. As you have been using it for a year or more, would you share what is the cost of using and the differences with the free version?

Thank you.

Robin,

I have been testing the free tier (and debating about opting into the premium tier). The optional premium tier is $3/month and adds:

- unlimited profile history (ability to add photos from anytime in your life, no matter how far back)

- ability to share videos as well as photos

- premium recap styles (Retro has a variety of styles for monthly and annual recaps)

- no weekly post to see (always see what a friend shares even if you have nothing to share, to see what friends have posted in free version, need to share at least one memory for the week)

- unlimited keys (by default, friends can only see last four weeks activity as Retro tries to strike a balance between 24 hour Stories and permanent social media posts. It enables you to "keys" to people to see beyond 4 weeks. I don't know what the limit is in free but premium is unlimited).

Finally, it helps to advance the mission of an app that doesn't sell your data or attention.
