It's a no for me. I don't want a subscription. Charge whatever you need, give us 1y of updates, charge next year for an upgrade. Do not pull folks into yet another subscription.
To add a little bit to this and why I am so principled against this. I will subscribe to a service, because a service means ongoing work. If you spent months or years building software, and have finished it, charge people what you believe is fair for the work you did up to now. Charge $50, charge $500, your call, sell to 1M people, your call. You have no running costs, you're just selling an app.
If you were running this on some cloud, maybe had some other extras built in that cost you time and money, then there could be a subscription.
If you want to keep your software updated, and are pushing updates daily, weekly, monthly, etc, I could squint at a subscription, but I would rather you just do critical fixes (bc if your product is broken you do owe paying customers a fix without a charge), and put new features in a new version that you will also sell.
People are selling git clients, calculators, db clients on subscription. it's crazy what the world has come to. We don't work to pay you guys rent.
The second I saw this app I was about to click buy (looking for a table plus alternative), went to pricing, saw subscription and immediately dropped it without even trying the free version.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’ve heard this feedback loud and clear from a lot of people, and we completely understand where you’re coming from.
We’re about to introduce a one time purchase option that includes a full year of updates. No subscription required. This will be available later this coming week.
Really appreciate you checking out the project and pushing us to make the right call for our users. Stay tuned.
Really appreciate you listening, looking forward to taking another look
So glad you posted this comment. Exact thoughts here and you saved me from exploring / wasting time.
Love this! Finally something happening in this space. dbeaver was the best, but it's so so ugly and old. I love Datagrip, but no free version.
Please have good formatting of SQL queries - like Datagrip. Very little open source SQL formatters out there, so might require something custom.
And very much waiting for Snowflake support (incl. OAuth)
Hi guys,
Great to see something fresh in this space. Good luck!
We are building something fairly similar but haven't launched yet. Competition will make all of us do a better job.
Agreed! The more competition, the merrier. Good luck to you guys!
