I would prefer -

1). Either "open source code solution" - allowing other members to fix, enhance, optimize the app.

2). OR, "one-time licensing fees with open source code allowing a change in code for own use case -AGPL"

3). "if monthly then - expecting constant updates and innovation on the product on a regular basis" to justify the subscription fees [still self-hosted and not on other parties cloud].

Gotcha! Makes sense to me :). What price tag would you put on this software?

There's been a pretty interesting development from what I've seen on annual licensing fees for enterprise features, with the code open-sourced.
