Not OP, but I like PragmataPro [0] by Fabrizio Schiavi and use it in my IDEs. I particularly appreciate his attention to glyphs in languages other than English, and how nice it looks (IMO) for console interfaces and box drawing [1].

What's the difference between app and website aside from the huge price increase?

You'd have to ask Fabrizio. I assume desktop is the cheapest because it's just you, and app/website is more expensive because there's some nontrivial risk you expose the font files in a way that others can get them for free.

Of course you'll expose them. It's not a risk, it's how things work.

I mean "expose" in the sense that you might expose the files in an unlicensed way, not just that the files are available.

His licensing model is somewhat confusing to me to be honest.
