Whatever pays for you to eat and maintain the project affects and determines the product, regardless of whether it's non-profit or for-profit, open-source or closed-source, donations or subscriptions. If your product survives on donations, your customers are your donors, and your product is getting them to give you donations. If your product survives on subscriptions, your customers are your customers, and your product is ensuring they continue to use and find value in the product and don't unsubscribe. I might consider picking one, at first, instead of doing both. Otherwise you end up needing to build two products instead of one.
