 "honest_knock": "It solves a real annoyance: dozens of web apps and multiple accounts per app as tidy desktop windows. The honest question is whether you need the paid tier at all. The free plan's 2-app limit is tight, but browser profiles and PWAs solve part of the same problem for free. Pro earns its fee when multi-account juggling (several Gmail/Slack/WhatsApp identities) is daily reality. Three practical limits come from WebCatalog's own documentation, read 21 October 2026: DRM-protected video does not play in the desktop app, Linux support is experimental without a promise of distribution-specific help, and because login sessions never leave the device, a new laptop means signing in to every app again even though the app list syncs.",

  "notes": "(re-read 25 September 2026 on webcatalog.io/en/pricing in a browser, both billing toggles, USD) Basic is free and no card is required: 2 desktop apps, 2 profiles and 1 space, with cloud sync, to-dos, focus mode and curated wallpapers. Pro is $5 per user per month billed annually or $6 billed monthly, plus local taxes, and lifts the caps to unlimited apps, profiles and spaces, with an ad-free experience, pages, theme colours, an ads and tracker blocker, an app lock, location services and priority support. Business is $8 per user per month billed annually or $10 monthly and adds shared spaces, shared pages, team management, centralised billing, an activity log and SAML single sign-on. Both paid plans carry a 7-day trial. The page advertises a 20% saving on yearly billing and prices in USD, EUR or JPY. A legacy lifetime licence is not mentioned on the pricing page (checked 2026-09-25). Re-read on 21 October 2026 by plain fetch: the annual figures, $5 for Pro and $8 per user for Business plus local taxes, and the free Basic caps are unchanged; the monthly toggle does not render without a browser, so the $6 and $10 monthly rates rest on the September reading. The table now marks desktop apps, profiles, spaces and shared spaces as 'Only available on WebCatalog for macOS, Windows, and Linux', so those limits and features belong to the desktop app rather than the browser extension. Payment is by card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with Alipay, KakaoPay, Naver Pay and UPI offered in some regions.",
