If you were going to pay, the one-time $119 sub is the only thing that makes sense.

Historically, I’ve never been sad about a lifetime software purchase. That said, none of them continued to work unchanged for a lifetime, but I’ve always felt I’ve gotten my money out of them.

In the end, everyone eventually enshitifies their product to make more money.

Playon stopped supporting their old model which just stopped working slowly over the following year as streaming companies changed their tech, while their “new product” which only had monthly fees kept working. I used it for enough years it ended up being something like $2 a month.

Plex nixed their plugins, then screwed over their offline viewing and offline sharing, then their watch together. My original lifetime was somewhere around $70 and I’ve used them for 15 years, that’s $4.60 a year :)
