Sorry the beta is not available on Setapp and I cannot use their OpenAI services.

I’m not sure yet. As BoltAI v2 and the mobile app has recurring costs (cloud storage etc.), it won’t work with Setapp’s pricing model. Currently I get only $1/user/month from Setapp.
The cloud cost alone is already more than that.

Are there any plans to allow syncing of chats and projects between the SetApp desktop version and the iOS version? Or the macOS and iOS version in general? Trying to ensure I’m planning correctly for the future.

Update: Sorry I misread your question. No it won’t sync with the Setapp version. Like I mentioned, I can’t offer cloud services on Setapp as it would not work with their pricing model.
Setapp also doesn’t allow using a third-party login / payment system so even if I wanted to offer it at a cost, they won’t allow it.

What about the non-setapp version?

Yes for non-Setapp versions. All apps in v2 will be in sync, and you don’t need to pay one license for each device. It’s going to be user-based. So one subscription, all devices & platforms, same cloud storage.
Think ChatGPT but for all AI services/models.

Nice.
When you say “Think ChatGPT but for all AI services/models.” are you saying it’ll be similar to Poe.com? One subscription and you get X credits and any model you want to use?

I’m not 100% sure about the pricing model yet as unlike VC-backed startups, I can’t afford to run at a loss. But one thing for sure is the Mac app continues to support the Perpetual License, which you actually own the software, not just renting like Poe etc.
There are 2 main sources of expense in v2: cloud storage and maybe AI credits.
Do you prefer BYOK + $5/mo for cloud sync, or $10/mo for both ($5 in AI credits per month)?
The $5/$10 here is for example only. I don’t have the exact pricing yet (still trying to survey more users)

Thanks for the clarification. I totally understand, as a small business owner myself.
Personally, I’d prefer to bring my own keys. I wouldn’t mind paying $5 a month, a one-time yearly fee, or a lifetime (I know, it is hard to keep going when it isn’t ongoing).
You mentioned cloud storage as being an expense. Could you offload that onto the user? Maybe make it a one-time upgrade option?
For instance, I prefer to handle my own syncing with apps, generally for privacy reasons, but I am also working on a way to sync all of my JSON chats between each of the interfaces I use. If I could manage the syncing myself, I could then add chats from other systems, which could then be pulled in by Bolt.
Thanks again for all your hard work, btw. I know what it takes, not only on the coding side, but on the business side, and the customer service side.
