Software used to cost real money, because writing and maintaining it takes real work.
When I was getting on the internet, you could buy Netscape Navigator — a *web browser* — in a *box* at a *brick and mortar store* for FIFTY DOLLARS.
So unless you would honestly pay a one-time purchase of $50 for that app whose subscription model you hate, be happy! You are getting a bargain.
@jsit Personally, I’m fine with both models — most of the time, at least.
I’m okay with paying 29,99 € per year for Ivory. I’m also okay with the 59,99 € one-time purchase of Things. Though, I’m _not_ okay with the sketchy practices of companies like Adobe.
In general, If I had a choice, I’d pick the one-time purchase every time. I used to be a 1Password customer (back when you had to pay for each major update) and switched to another password manager when they adopted the subscription model.
@overengineer Subscription + cloud-only syncing + Electron app
Three strikes for me. I still use @1password 7, though.
@jsit Okay, now I’m curious. Why haven’t you migrated to another password manager (KeePass, Bitwarden, etc.) yet?
Is there a particular feature that only 1Password has? Is it because you don’t want to mess with your current workflow? Or, perhaps it’s just the pain of evaluating alternatives.
