I preferred the “old” software upgrade model to the subscription model, but when you do the math the cost is often—not always, but often—similar. Having said that, PDF Expert’s new $50/yr subscription price seems on the high side for us non-corporate users.

I agree. I hope that some other indie developers will move into the market at the low end, for people who occasionally need to do more than read PDFs.

@mjdescy it's quite possible that the "non-pro" version of PDF Expert—without paying for the subscription—will do what I need. But I kinda wish there was, say, a $15/yr intermediary step in there. :) I'll see what happens with the Mac version, I guess, which is the one I end up doing more serious work on most of the time.
