Hi folks!
Full disclosure: I work for AgileBits.
We do still offer standalone 1Password licenses for folks who don't want or need the benefits offered by our 1Password.com services. We do think that for most folks the subscription service will be the way to go (better disaster recovery, access to latest versions of all apps, etc) we will still sell licenses to folks who prefer to purchase that way and are comfortable managing their own syncing & storage.
No plans like that.
You are certainly welcome to continue doing that, but hosting the data allows us to do a number of things that we can't with iCloud... such as sharing, web access, etc.
Major upgrades for the licensed standalone products will typically have a price associated with them (e.x. going from v6 -> v7), but in-version updates are included.
Taking my AgileBits hat off for a moment...
You generally don't "own" any software. Unless you wrote it. Then you might.
Thanks!
Ben
how about we pay once for things that don't need to be paid for multiple times.

Drop box works well.
No need for a subscription, unless they are planning to kill existing
'Cloud' support.

Great, another "give us all your data and pay us every month" subscription.
There is absolutely no need to store all my data with you... i can just use iCloud sync for free. The only reason for these subscriptions is the $

AgileBits will do the right thing and maintain the traditional one-off payment for version X with usually a free upgrade for version Y. If they don't, I may have to send a strongly worded email to Dave Teare who every couple of months will send me an email updating me about various happenings. I don't want to hit that unsubscribe button Dave! But don't tempt me. Dave, don't youTearedare Dave!

Just lovely. I'm starting to wonder if we actually own anything anymore...
