Used to be free, now locked behind a paywall with no way out
I used the free version of Vampr for a while and it was fine. After the 7-day trial ended and I cancelled (because the paid features weren’t worth it), the app now forces me onto a paid membership screen every time I open it. There is no option to continue with the free version, no “skip,” no “no thanks.” Just stuck.
They quietly removed the free tier that a lot of us relied on. Now it’s pay up or don’t use the app at all. Feels like a bait-and-switch after building a user base on free access.
If you’re a new user, be aware: the free version effectively no longer exists once the trial is over. Don’t waste your time if you’re not willing to pay.

No longer a community
I have been using vampr since 2013-14 and I made many connections and had many opportunities, as a person who has a low income and enjoyed the app as a free app which meant I was free to create despite not having a lot of opportunities outside, the app made my manic creative brain tame and I felt a sense of freedom, but now I can’t even use the app without paying off the bat and the fact that, that is the first thing that pops ups let’s me know that it’s no longer about community and freedom anymore, it’s just about money and that hurts me a lot, knowing how Vampr started and now how it’s….ended, my time on vampr has officially ended but I hope they realise what they had and the consequences they made by limiting everyone’s access

Worst option if you just want to find a simple bandmate
There is only one annual subscription option, and its high cost is justified by a host of features that are as unappealing as they are unnecessary for those who simply want to find bandmates. This compulsion to turn every tool into a social midia will eventually ruin the fun of a lot of things.

Response from developer
Hi there, we understand the change can be frustrating. After offering Vampr free for many years, we added a modest annual fee to support the platform and release new features like Collabs and services. Your trial gives full access before any charge. If you had additional feedback please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team - support@vampr.me
Musicians meetup
So far I’ve been able to find some players and work my way around to some future jams and hopefully some gigs.
