I frankly don't see any trouble in paying for open-source software once. I see it as a way to support the development. I often buy "premium" versions even if they add nothing on top of the OSS version.

As of OSMAnd, $40 might look like a steep price even for a lifetime unlimited license, but they regularly run sales where the same costs $25.

I’m pretty sure I’ve spent more than $40 on paper road atlases, and last time I updated the offline maps on my Toyota it cost me a $220 for the SD card from OEM, so a lifetime license is a steal.

I paid for OsmAnd+ a long time ago, now it asks me to pay a monthly 2.99 Eur for OsmAnd Pro it seems?

Their pricing model is confusing. There is a one off purchase for + and then a seperate monthly charge for pro. Some features are in both, some are just in one or the other and there doesn't seem to be any logic as to what features go into which.

Even if you buy it, they will still constantly nag for you to get their subscription service. And they arbitrarily lock most new features behind it, like 3D views and such.
