Like Once. I can add a one time payment model, but installing it on a computer won't work. Because if the data is just stored on a computer: 1) it's not safe. 2) it's not reliable, the computer could stop working.

For one time payment, I agree I will need to implement that.

What feature do you think would be better for bringing trust to you and all users? Because I agree there could be a huge trust issue. I will encrypt the data, but would people trust it?

You could make it self hosted and help your customers find reliable hosting providers that have long term plans that will continue provide service after customer dies

I think this is better off with me being a reliable source. Because what's the point if user dies and forgets to pay self hosting server bills? That will still be a huge responsibility for the user.

What about $2 per month to try, if the user likes they can move to $149 lifetime plan?
