The license scheme makes me sad. It reads like a subscription pretending to be a one-time purchase.

- _kush 4mo agoHi, I am sorry for not explaining it correctly on the website but it's strictly not a subscription. The license gives you lifetime access to LookAway - you can keep using it forever. You only pay for updates after a year if there's something new you may want to use.
- nickv 4mo agoI think this is totally a fair way to do this. I know HN sometimes grumbles about this type of pricing, but totally get it. You’re not taking anything away, you’re just charging for new features after 1 year they paid. They don’t lose access. (It’s like back when we had Photoshop 5 and then Photoshop 6 came out). As long as you mention that security updates will be free, I think this is a good plan. It’s how you get indie devs paid to keep working on products.
- _kush 4mo agoYes the patch updates are free beyond the one year gate. Will mention it on the website as well - thank you!
