#1password 7 license key password
(Dropbox works just fine, and I much prefer to have direct access to my password database should I need it.) And while yes, 1Password's service offers more security, there's absolutely no reason my Dropbox vault couldn't also use a key in addition to the master password should AgileBits choose to implement the functionality. I'm not interested in their sync service.

I don't, however, feel I get enough value of of the software to support a $36 yearly subscription or to pay $65 per platform to upgrade every year or two, and by not offering upgrade pricing on 1Password 7 (and pretty effectively hiding the fact that standalone pricing even exists), the message AgileBits is sending is that those are my options going forward. I've gotten more than enough value out of 1Password to justify multiple paid upgrades over the years, but as far as I can remember, AgileBits has only asked me to pay once.
Regular upgrades priced accordingly allow customers to subscribe to software and support its continued development without the risk of that software ceasing to function the moment they stop paying a subscription, whatever the reason might be that they don't feel they can continue to support the software. Upgrade pricing makes sense, logically unless you're literally rewriting your software for every release. Upgrade pricing is also very rarely even a 50% discount (and can be adjusted as needed), so there's no reason it shouldn't also be covering any general maintenance needed just to keep the old functionality working well on new systems and devices. Upgrade pricing allows me to compensate you for the time it took to implement all the improvements between version N and N+1 I'd like to take advantage of without paying again for the carryover functionality.

Maybe I'd be willing to pay full price, but I already have most of the functionality I need, so maybe not. I've purchased a standalone, perpetual license of version N of your software, and you release version N+1, which is essentially the same piece of software but adds a number features I'd like to use. The reasoning behind upgrade pricing is simple. I think a lot of the responses here are misunderstanding why upgrade pricing may be a sticking point. We invite you to take your business elsewhere. Perhaps more developers (and for that matter retailers) should take this to heart. (I'm not claiming this as an original idea, it's something I learned from the practices and sage advice of others.) It sometimes produced a short-term cashflow issue but inevitably paid off in the long run, in terms of financial and mental health. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯īack when I was consulting, I used to make it a practice to “fire” the “worst” 20% of my clients (based on a subjective evaluation of "worst" - not merely billable hours) on an “annual-ish” basis, then use the recovered time and energy to get better clients, or lavish more attention on the better clients I had, or to just go outside and lay in a hammock. Some people expect a free/heavily subsidized lunch, I guess, and those people you're probably better off not having as customers. (As I've said elsewhere in these forums, to me an App has a higher bar to cross if they're not available through the App Store because I take value from not worrying about license keys or where to find the app if I need to pull it down on a new computer, or to my MBP (which contains only apps I’m using now, etc.)
(I also switched to a subscription to provide ongoing support of an app that I truly value.) A month or so back I did the same thing for Swift Publisher, bought a new App Store license instead of a direct upgrade, and I look forward to doing the same for BBEdit in the future.

Hell, I believe I did have some sort of 1Password upgrade available (I might be mistaken, I updated a small handful of apps last week) and chose to ignore it solely for the convenience - and I mean that quite literally - of moving my application license back to the Mac App Store. I understand that there is historic precedent for these upgrades, but I'd add that much of that precedent also dates back to the days of software packages costing hundreds, if not many hundreds, or many, many, many hundreds of dollars. My take, then an now, being when did the decision on the part of some developers to offer upgrade pricing become an entitlement.
I’ve been on this bandwagon for years - at least since the debates about the unavailability of upgrade pricing on the (various) App Store(s). Why does that mean you should pay less for next version?
So you paid them some money four years ago and have enjoyed the value of that purchase since. Most companies will charge you a special price for being a previous customer as oppsed to a new one. Like the original poster wrote, my jaw hit the desk when I saw the upgrade was full price, even though I have been a customer for 4 years.
