If you'd like to transition us to this from Dropbox, the price must be drastically reduced. That $36 is a subscription price for the alternative, which the author mentioned as "outlandish" in that forum post. And what's wrong in saying that the company moved to subscriptions because the $65 one time sale is not working out very well? One the company's website, the pricing page lists only the subscriptions prominently. One would have to either know that there is a standalone license or scroll down to the bottom of the page to find out that a standalone license exists. For a sale page, it clearly uses a dark pattern to make it seem like subscription is the only way there. Even the page name in the URL is "sign-up".
