I’d love to see professional licenses switch to a “maximally fair to the user subscription model”.

If you use the thing in a given month, you autopay the monthly subscription fee — if you don’t use it at all in a given month — you pay nothing.

people who use the software regularly pay basically the current subscription pricing model — but if you only use it very occasionally — you pay much less.

I think this kind of pricing model could really help drive adoption of subscription pricing for professional tools ... I’d be willing to maintain a subscription to several expensive infrequently used by me tools with this kind of pricing model — and I might occasionally use those tools which would be better for the developer than me never using their tool at all ...
