If you have or are looking to purchase a App Store variant of our subscription, here are some common questions you might be wondering about.

What is an App Store subscription?

An App Store subscription is a variant purchased via the App Store directly. It comes with a limit of one Editor per Workspace, but you can still use real-time collaboration by inviting other people as ‘Guests’ (referred to as ‘Guest Editors’) to join your Workspace’s projects or documents using the email address associated with their active Sketch subscription.

Please note that you don’t get a license key when you purchase an App Store subscription, but you’d need to use your Apple Account and password to sign in.

For more information about the difference between an App Store variant and the one purchased from the Sketch website directly, please see this article.
