#2The video (why?) doesn’t load for me, so I can’t check features, but what’s wrong with split and csplit? (https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/spli..., https://man.openbsd.org/split.1)

#3Why is this a yearly cost? I don’t understand.
There’s already open source utilities [0] for users who aren’t proficient in Unix commands.
If anything this should be the definition of a one time fee.
You’re free to charge whatever you like, but it seems odd that anyone would pay you year after year to use your app.
It’s not the price, as $40 isn’t that much, but the value and principle of the thing.

The target users are non-technical users. Think accountants. They are technical and not be able to use command line tools.
Other than that, I appreciate the feedback.

It's true that most accountants won't be able to reach that kind of scale, though the modern saas businesses might be able to reach that point.
