Hey folks , recently, TopazLabs (well-known in the AI video/image enhancement space) announced they're shifting from lifetime licenses to subscriptions only. That's sparked a lot of chatter - some say subscriptions feel cheaper upfront, but many users feel it becomes more expensive long term, especially since canceling can be tricky and refunds are limited.
We're curious to hear what the Product Hunt community thinks about this shift:
As a user, do you prefer subscriptions or lifetime licenses? Do you see a difference between desktop apps vs. online/cloud apps? Why?
As an AI developer or maker, which pricing model makes you feel more confident investing in for the long term?

While there are plenty of cloud-based AI enhancement tools, few run locally and produce the level of quality you're going to see from Aiarty.
I've been playing around with their Video Enhancer for a month or so and have used it to clean up and up-res old 640x480 videos and the quality (running on my Apple M3 Max with 64 GB) is astounding!
Definitely try out the generous 90 day unrestricted license. Then let us know what you think!
