Hi there. This was answered before somewhere. The plans on their website are recurring monthly subscription plans. A person can CHOOSE to pay monthly if they want, with no subscription fees (not me.) . Alternatively, If they want a once-for-all lifetime deal on Appsumo, it will come with sales commission, in this case. That’s just the trade-off that a person can weigh. I prefer the lifetime deal. Essentially every other main Course provider has monthly subscription fees along WITH sales commission. (Also don’t forget the 2.9% fee the payment processor always takes.) It’s just the standard ways of doing business in this field. At least here you toss the monthly fee. Best wishes.
