From site:

> You can get it in your app store, there are no in-app purchases and no ads.

This suggests that pricing the app is the only revenue source. It is very reasonable that the creators aren’t just donating their work.

It's very possible I was being daft, but for some reason, I assumed this cost money until I got to that sentence. I guess it's because I still naively assume that any up-front price tag should imply a lack of ads, ergo such a caveat is only necessary if the app is already free.

IMO, they should have listed the price on the page. The other merchandise on their site has prices listed, and an app should be no different.

They sell notebooks and other items on that very same site, if you scroll down a bit more.
