Why lifetime license vs subscription?

Everything is subscription these days. I remember when you bought software on a CD... it was yours, forever.

Somewhere along the way, we accepted that paying €60/year for a Git client was normal. But here's the thing: Git hasn't fundamentally changed. The workflows are the same. The commands are the same. So why should I keep paying every year for the same tool?

GitUX is a solid 4 week trail, if you like it then £24 once.. for life. That's it. No renewals. No feature gates. No "oops, your subscription lapsed and now you can't access your repos."

The real cost of subscriptions:

• GitKraken: €60/year = €300 over 5 years

• GitUX: €20 once = €20 over 5 years

I'm not building a SaaS empire here - I built a tool I want to use for the next 20 years. That means stable, reliable, and not dependent on hitting quarterly revenue targets by adding features nobody asked for. Clean, fast and useful features.
