This looks like a great product filling a gap in the marketplace. You mention a Affinity a lot in these comments, but not in your marketing. If people who like the Affinity model is your target consumer, maybe you should mention compatibility on the site. Affinity also offers a free trial, and perhaps you should too since you don't have a reputation. This product is also about the same price as an Affinity product, which feels too expensive.

Damn. Didn't expect so much bitterness this morning. What a strange set of "demands" for a pretty decent piece of kit.

So apparently it’s not your lifetime, it’s the lifetime of the software version. If you never upgrade then it could be your lifetime.
It's always the lifetime of the version or the lifetime of the software, never your lifetime.
By lifetime I mean you can use it as long as you like without having to pay again. So it depends on how you get the software, if it’s web based then yes there may be a lifetime of the software but if you install it on your machine then you will stop getting bug fixes or security updates at some point but software itself won’t stop working until your hardware dies.

Missed the free trial. Definitely make it clear there is free trial on the pricing page.

It’s a shame but you also have to be realistic. People have to make a living.
You know, a "made with" blender film just won an Oscar. I bet Blender devs also have to make a living and I doubt they work for free.
What are you talking about? Hundreds of Blender developers did and do work for free.
Just because a movie made with it did well, doesn't mean Blender devs get paid.

You know, survival bias.
For each floss project where its devs can make a decent living just working on that project, I can can name way more where they depend on the free labour/willing of their maintainers.
