    Has that killed Bitwarden yet? There are many self-hosted projects that also have paid options.

    I’d be happy with a paid (one-time fee) license for a self-hosted option with any software. Subscriptions should only be paying for data/storage, and if that’s offloaded to the customer’s local hardware, there’s no need to keep them on a subscription.

    Especially for a product that’s privacy-first, that really should include a self-hosted option (paid or otherwise).

      I didn’t say anything about “killing”.

        You implied that it would hurt business, and that really doesn’t seem to be the case for other projects using a self-hosted/subscription business model.

        If you meant something else, then I guess I misunderstood. No harm, no foul.

              Maybe not. That’s my best guess as to why they wouldn’t advertise it on the homepage.
