To be clear, I know that "pay once, lifetime updates" isn't a good fit for some things.

But the website isn't particularly clear on this - there's a subscription model, but then a Pay Once model that then says "one year of app updates".

Of App Updates only?

Of model updates?

Of both?

Looking at an info block below, it seems like if you buy once, you get "new features and improvements" to the app for one year. But are you model locked?

Axel here, one of the builders of Epilude. Appreciate the question.

Whilst the subscription plans work as any normal SaaS subscription, we're fond of pay-once models that don't tie you into continuing to pay for a product unless you feel you continue to get value from the updates we're shipping to the product.

So into the one year of updates that comes with the Pay Once option at the moment, We currently think of model updates as part of the "one year of app updates" that come with the Pay Once option, i.e. general improvements we're shipping to the app to make it better. At the moment, we think this approach makes sense, but we're of course open to feedback.

In any case, we'll update the info on the website to clarify this. Thanks for pointing it out.
