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.
