It's freemium. And offers lifetime purchases and monthly sub. Will experiment with adding an annual sub soon.
This year I got a grant from NLNet [1] for it, which averaged to over $500 / month. I also have some customers for it, but not close to that at all, which I'd rather have, as more sustainable way to keep improving it.
Still, I'm quite grateful to NLNet!
