This ensures that all of MarsEdit&#8217;s powerful offline features, including download\/archiving of posts, can be used in perpetuity for free.<\/p>\n<p>Anybody who purchased MarsEdit 3 on June 1, 2017, or later, is entitled to a free update to MarsEdit 4. Anybody who purchased MarsEdit 3 earlier than June 1 is entitled to a discounted $24.95 upgrade. <em>This applies to Mac App Store users as well!<\/em> Because MarsEdit 4 embraces the Mac App Store&#8217;s in-app purchase model, the app can use a downloaded copy of MarsEdit 3 to validate a discounted or free upgrade to MarEdit 4, as appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot to say about MarsEdit 4 and I&#8217;ll talk more about the improvements in separate blog posts after the dust settles.
