Future paid option request: offer monthly subscription as an option if you do the subscription model

[dbz2k]

Hello If you do a subscription model could you let us pay monthly as an option instead of giving us yearly only option.

That's the plan right now, but it's subject to change.

Not sure I've heard of a model exactly like that before, but it sounds fairly similar to "1-year updates + fallback perpetual" which is the JetBrains model. I'm kind of leaning towards that, with a monthly option for a lower commitment:

• Monthly. No perpetual license.

• Annual. Perpetual license for the latest version as of your subscription renewal (a little odd, but matches JetBrains).

Both in the range of $5-12/mo total. I could also consider free/discounted plans for educational and non-commercial open-source development.
