Also, you don't want the freemium business model because:
1) passwords are a serious stuff, so you want serious people to to some serious work behind your PM (AKA, it can't be free);
2) passwords are a too fundamental tool of our digital existences to have a monthly-based subscription. The idea of being locked out of your services when you can't afford to pay the monthly fee is just horrible.
- wonder_er 9y agoagreed! In their defense, the old model wasn't freemium, it was a one-time fee. (I think it was $40 or $50 when I bought it.) That said, over the time horizon of many years, $40 doesn't cover much at all. For the reasons you mentioned, I felt a sense of relief when I moved over to the monthly model.
- nucleardog 9y agoI totally understand why they need/want to change their pricing model, and support it even. I don't understand why they've bundled a change in the product along with it and that's what I take issue with. I'd happily pay them $5/mo to continue using their product as I've been using it - with local vaults, not with their cloud product. I won't take their product for free if it comes with a forced "upgrade" to the cloud service.
