I'm uncomfortable with the one-time pricing. This is the second product 37S has released with that pricing scheme (first: basecamp breeze). could be an innovation. i think it creates more ambiguity. if i pay onetime for something I feel like i should own it, not rent it. Still, interesting experiment.

A one off price for a SaaS product feels a bit like the software version of a ponzi scheme.

So.... you'd rather keep paying for it and not own it, than pay for it once and not own it?
I'd like to rent it, because that's whats actually happening.
