I am not a fan of those trendy payment models. I do not want to
worry about how much I regularly pay where and constantly
receive payment confirmations in my inbox. I already have enough
stuff floating in my head.
I use a really nice graphics application that's missing out on
my money because it expects me to pay $50 a year for the
unrestricted Pro version. But I'm not a professional, I'm an
occasional user who just likes the intuitive interface. I would
gladly pay that amount once to get the non-pro version forever
but without the constant nagging or the requirement to login to
use it. This "you're either a professional who pays the bills
with this software or you deserve to get spammed with popups and
other annoyances" stance is a pain.
- halfdaft 6y agoI think I know the application and feel the same way. I wish I could easily pay / donate when I'm actually producing paid work with it (I'm freelance, so pattern is irregular). I donate to Blender when I'm using it for work, again, just wish I could from within application. QLab [1] a Mac show control app for theatre, has a really nice rental model. You can use it - fully-featured - for free, but need to rent licences to send video and audio signals to physical outs. But, you can rent by the day for ~$5, and each rental goes towards purchasing a full license some day. I wish all paid creative software offered this model. [1] https://qlab.app/ https://qlab.app/
