It went back to the same question: why pay $50 a year (or $200 once for all) while the Lumin app is free and very good, and the differences JPLAY (or others, like Serento) is bringing do not worth the price. I never found an answer to that question.

And then, in 2026, here is another issue for sw developers (I face this situation in my own startup): with Claude or Github Copilot, it is so easy to develop high quality code. Basically you can divide the coding time by at least 5; and the competences required to develop a sw are now shifting to doing proper prompt engineering; which many designers can do...

Hard times... The value is in the hw, much less in the sw. This is btw the current trend in the silicon valley investors.

Thank you for trying JPLAY and for the honest feedback.

It's subjective: for some people there's no difference, and for others it's a game changer. That's exactly what the 14-day trial is for, so everyone can judge for themselves.

As for AI-assisted coding: if you think you can build a better app for $200, good luck
