Does anyone know if this supports standalone licenses, or is it strictly subscription only?

It seems to be subscription only, just like the Windows and macOS versions. EDIT: I was wrong about 1Password 7 for Windows and macOS, see further replies.

  Neither the Windows or macOS versions are subscription-only but they have hidden the standalone license option carefully… See e.g. https://1password.community/discussion/107609/is-1password-7-standalone-license-only-available-as-subscription https://1password.community/discussion/107609/is-1password-7... for some first-hand informaton.

  The 1Password macOS app is not subscription-only; the standalone purchase is just fairly well hidden because it's not the recommended path: https://support.1password.com/upgrade-mac/ https://support.1password.com/upgrade-mac/ This topic inevitably comes up on every HN 1Password thread.

    > the standalone purchase is just fairly well hidden because it's not the recommended path I don't care how many arguments they bring to the table that the subscription model is superior, the things that matter are still "broken" in the subscription model: Control over my data and "cost control". With a standalone license i can control where i store my sensitive information, and don't have to rely on 1Password doing the "right thing" and protect their servers. I can also choose if i want to upgrade, or if the current version is good enough for my needs. I will never pay a subscription for any software.

1Password supports standalone licenses, but they don't really advertise that or have pricing for it on the main website. https://support.1password.com/cs/migrate-standalone/ https://support.1password.com/cs/migrate-standalone/ (note the text near the end regarding licensing)

  > 1Password supports standalone licenses The 1Password macOS and Windows clients can be bought stand-alone, but their newer clients (such as the command-line client, for some reason) are subscription-only. It's confusing, and it looks like this Linux client is also subscription-only.
