Apps that are worked on consistently have a very high recurring cost - people hours

Do you really think this app will still need major work 5 years from now? As I said in another comment, work on version 2.0 (since 1.0 is probably not complete now) and put it in maintenance mode then, instead of cramming it with useless features.

Idea: flat charge to export the entire library to a standard or competing format. Could vary if the library is particularly large or end format proprietary.

That way people who hate subscriptions or lock-in know they have an out and don’t have to lose anything.

True, but they also have a very low incremental cost per unit.

It doesn’t really matter if you sell 10 at $100 or 100 at $10, and sometimes selling 100 at $10 is significantly easier.
