I had the same hesitation a while back, but what helped me decide was comparing long-term costs and how often I really needed those flashy updates. For a lot of businesses, locking into subscription plans means paying forever without ever owning the product. I ended up shifting to options that offer a lifetime license software model because it gave me stability, predictable expenses, and full control over when and how I update. Of course, you’ll want to make sure the provider offers good customer support and regular security patches, but if those boxes are ticked, it can be far more cost-effective and liberating than subscriptions that just drain cash endlessly.
