Why a subscription and not a one-off purchase?

”I understand you're trying to milk every penny from your users, but please, for the love of god, make it a one-time purchase” — Anonymous

Every so often a user will ask if it would be possible to make our Pro subscription a one-time payment.

Everyone likes money, but at Termius we believe that great software is honest and sustainable. This means we are creating a service that helps you get your job done both today and in the future.

A security product like Termius must always be compatible with the latest security standards and be updated to include new security-related features. This, along with the drive to constantly improve our product, is why Termius receives regular updates.

Our cross-device sync lets you securely connect to a remote computer using any device, regardless of the platform – Android, iOS, Chrome OS, Windows, macOS or Linux. To facilitate this, secured servers and expert server administration are necessary to keep your encrypted data flowing smoothly.

We understand that the subscription-based sales model is a double-edged sword. Some users may prefer a one-time fee, but development, servers and security are expensive, and the Pro subscription funds these activities.

Above all, we believe in an honest and sustainable business model.

Thank you for your support.
