#72I'd pay for one-time pro features. I don't want a subscription, but I'm willing to pay to use this service a few times a year maybe. There are probably more like me. Maybe sell 10 pro edits or something like that?
I think this would be a tough one. FWIW, I think your question highlights a great example of why so many companies don't offer the pricing you want, even though it's probably true that the majority of users would prefer this pricing.
My bet is that selling "10 pro edits or something like that" would nearly completely cannibalize any subscription sales. Thus, I think OP is probably likely to make a lot more money by only offering a subscription than by offering one-off pricing that kills subscription sales.

#74Nice work. I can see the utility since I manually do this for some of my blogs [0,1]. But a subscription model doesn't work for me.

#76I tried to use the tool, but it's very laggy/slow. Is it server-side? Why not just HTML5?

#77Why would this be a subscription? It could just be a standalone app for $10 bucks and you'll probably get more lifetime revenue that way compared to having a subscription, because in a year more people will buy for $10 than will subscribe and stay subscribed for long enough to overcome that revenue.

#79Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah, subscription for the big players (and raise your subscription price), then $1 a pop for a one-off.
What if a corp signs up as a consumer and uses $1 pops?
Mr. TotallyNotCorporate which makes 20 orders a day? Totally not a corp.
Just add "more than N screenshots a day are considered corporate usage with an according plan", ask to upgrade, ban.

#80Interestingly, I REALLY want the exact OPPOSITE of this. Many times it's just so frustratingly difficult to take a screenshot of something on a computer screen and send it over one of the several mobile messaging apps that don't have a good desktop client, so I end up just taking a picture of the physical computer screen with my mobile phone. It looks like shit but I'm lazy. I really wish a piece of software could re…
On Apple devices ”Universal Clipboard” (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209460) works fairly well for that (’fairly’ because, in my experience, it doesn’t always work in one go)
