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?

@androidultra Thanks a lot for the kind words and for making the video review! 😊 Glad to hear it worked well for you — really appreciate the support!
@kate_luvis Oh! come-on Aiarty deserve this appreciation
@chrismessina Congratulations. And happy product launch.
Would not work with my newer GPU(four years old) It said it is supported but I get an error message... 5 hours for 1min30sec video is laughable. Do not waste your time. I have an intel 12th generation i7 processor and 32gb or ram.

@hapcoHi! Thanks for letting us know, and sorry you ran into this issue. Could you please reach out to our support team at support@aiarty.com? They’ll be happy to help troubleshoot the GPU error and the long processing time.
Is amazingly good. Even videos filmed with an old phone will be much better. And is surprisingly fast.
Nice!

Se ve muy bien construida la app me la recomendo un youtuber y quiero escalar una pelicula que no encuentro en 4k pero si la encontre en 1080p pues quiero ver en 4k en el televisor mio que tengo y bueno agradezco que existan este tipo de aplicaciones que hacen de subir la resolucion a los videos y creo que algun momento pagare la licencia porque si me gusta mucho la utilidad que le dare a esta app
