Was interested until I checked the pricing and saw it sold as a subscription. Just let me buy it and I'll decide if I want to buy version 2 next year.

This. I also can't equate the yearly value of a subscription with the usage I'd get out of it (and I do _a lot_ of video calls, always have).

I was thinking about your comment when I responded to [this one above](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39346050)

This reasoning obscures the huge overhead of creating a distinct "version 2" next year. I can do a much better job on the software if I don't have to spend 70% of my time marketing the next version or sectioning off this or that feature for commercial reasons.

But I take your point, I don't love subscription software either, but most of my current users are pretty comfortable with these so it's good for now while I'm working alone. And my hosting / API access fees are not _zero_ so there is a vague justification there too.
