I prefer the pricing model of TablePlus[0].

$99 for the current version forever with 1 year of updates. Once that expires you can keep using the last version you had access to forever, or get another year of update for $59.

Fair and flexible for everyone.

You can also renew at any time. I’ve paid for it in the past, at some point stopped using it for a few years, and when I started using it again I just renewed for a year to get a few years worth of updates at once.

I like this pricing a lot too because you actually support and incentivize the development of new features.
