They (though admittedly along with many others) have partaken in a terrible trend of switching to subscription pricing for effectively non-subscription services.
Instead of having the option of letting me pay and upgrade if I decide to, I am forced to continue a subscription in order to continue using any version of 1Password (excluding legacy versions).
- WillPostForFood 7y agoThey do have a standalone license, they just don't make it well known. https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/92275/how-do-i-purchase-a-standalone-license-of-1password-7 https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/92275/how-do-i-...
- chrischen 7y agoWow! Probably would have done this had I known earlier, but at this point I feel like if I lock myself in to their platform they'll eventually get rid of this option completely at which point I'd have to find an alternative anyways.
- jsgo 7y agodon't bother. I bought the license for mobile and mac when those were the options and now regulated to paying subscription.
- WillPostForFood 7y agoI don't think that's correct, they completely support standalone licenses, and you can use Dropbox for syncing across devices. I'm using 1password 6 on my Mac, and 1password 7 on windows, no problem, no subscription.
- bwoodruff 7y agoIt is indeed possible to purchase standalone licenses for 1Password 7 for Mac and 1Password 7 for Windows and they can be synced using Dropbox. - Ben, 1Password
- jsgo 7y agoAre you using it on iOS as well? It "helpfully" migrated my upgraded $9.99 or whatever it was for the iOS license to a subscription plan. Would've been fine with the standalone version, but there isn't multiple applications for 1Password on iOS.
