Nearly a decade ago, transitapp.com had a premium app that costed $2.99 to buy. Most users opted for free options, but I saw the value in the app and bought it. The company later switched to a free model, and then more recently a subscription model. I tried getting customer service to honour the lifetime license, but they only offered 1 year of subscription for their Royal plan.

I've had other lifetime licenses that have been honoured even after those companies shifted to subscriptions. I always feel bad using the Transit app because of that experience. Wouldn't recommend.
