New Unraid OS License Pricing, Timeline, and FAQs (unraid.net)

Unraid has come out with their new pricing plan.

I have mistakenly said in some comments here before that they were doing away with their lifetime plan. They still have it, but it is just more expensive. They have introduced a couple of cheaper annual subscription plans.

If anyone is still on the fence about buying Unraid, you have a week until the new pricing plan comes into affect.

After seeing so many examples of companies really screwing up their pricing changes, it is refreshing to see Unraid do this so well.

Jetbrains moved away from the purchase version model and to an actual monthly/yearly subscription model a very long time ago. I don't even think you can buy their products anymore, they're literally subscription models, no longer buy versions then get updates for a year sort of thing. You either pay them and have access or don't and lose it.

You get a perpetual fallback license even if you stop payin, which is what I was referring to. It’s pretty much functionally equivalent to what Unraid is proposing here. You pay for a first year, get a license to use that version, then need to pay again to get an additional of updates.
