Where is that information on their website?


I think: https://app-updates.agilebits.com/download/OPM7/Y

> Those of you with a standalone license for version 6 will be prompted to subscribe or purchase a license when the beta first opens. Licenses will be available for $64.99 when we launch later this year, but are available now for only $39.99.


Is this supposed to be a rebuttal to something or do you actually need help finding it?


A little of both. I did a check and I literally couldn't find it. If it's that well hidden (I have a few licenses from prior versions, so I'm not a stranger to the site) isn't that effectively not having the option?


My comment was a response to '1Password is making it so you can never buy a standalone version again'. This isn't true. It is true that they try to steer people into a subscription. But if they wanted to kill the standalone version, they would have. You can download the 1Password 7 beta right now and pay for it once.


There is no reason to believe that. I paid for 1Password as a standalone app THREE TIMES, only to discover later that my versions are all being orphaned, will not be updated, and will not receive key features.


What do you mean there is no reason to believe that? The very latest 1Password (the one that's in beta and not even in wide public release yet) you can purchase without a sub right this second. What's the part that you don't believe?


You probably purchased 1Password on different platforms? I do not think there was a single platform were 1Password had more than 2 paid upgrades.


I think you'd agree however that having this option nowhere to be found on the "Pricing" page would result in most concluding the option didn't exist.


We tried that and it did not work out: https://web.archive.org/web/20160420141241/https://1password...

People were confused. A lot of them purchased both. Most of the population is different from technically savvy HN users.


I'm interested in where it is. I have recommended 1Password to friends saying that I had heard standalone version was still available, but I am unable to find it on their site.


The blog entry even states, “While still tough, this decision was easier to make as people looking for licenses will be able to download 1Password 7 directly from our website. I know this isn’t ideal for those who love the Mac App Store and prefer to purchase standalone licenses and I apologize for that. But overall I believe this was the correct decision to make.”
