Software has largely moved from one-off purchases to subscriptions. That shift changes how you budget and what you get. Here is how to make subscription software work for you.
Perpetual vs subscription
| Aspect | Perpetual | Subscription |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Higher | Lower |
| Updates | Often paid | Included |
| Total over years | Can be lower | Predictable |
| Flexibility | Lower | Higher |
Key takeaways
- Subscriptions spread cost and include updates.
- Review subscriptions regularly to cut unused seats.
- Match the model to how long you will use the software.
