Licensing

Fair terms, stated up front

Two models. Beyond Phone Sync and Beyond Permit Status are bought once and owned outright. Everything else is a subscription, priced generously. Which one applies is stated on every application’s own page, under the version.

Prices are not published yet

The applications are still in development, and we are not taking money for software you cannot download. The two models below are settled. The numbers go up the day the first one opens.

Beyond Phone Sync · Beyond Permit Status

One-time

Buy it, own it.

A single payment for a tool that does one job on your own machine and costs us nothing to keep running. It keeps working forever, including the version you bought, whether or not you ever pay us again.

  • Yours permanently
  • Runs on as many of your machines as the licence covers
  • No expiry, no lockout, nothing to renew
Every other application

Subscription

Generous, and honest about why.

Most of the catalogue is a subscription, and we are not going to dress that up. Continuous development, infrastructure and support are real ongoing costs, and a single payment cannot carry them. What we can promise is that the pricing is generous and the terms do not trap you.

  • Monthly or annual
  • Extra people can be added to a team
  • Cancel at the end of the period, with nothing taken back
  • Your data stays yours, and you can take it out at any time
Choosing the model

Why an application costs what it costs

We would rather tell you the rule than let you guess from a pricing table. Not everything here is a one time purchase, and we are not going to imply that it is.

One-time, and only these two Beyond Phone Sync and Beyond Permit Status. Narrow tools that run on your hardware and cost us nothing to keep alive, so charging monthly for them would be indefensible.
Everything else A subscription. These carry ongoing development, running costs and support, and pretending otherwise would mean either a bad price or a product that quietly stops improving.
What generous means No charging you for every extra person, and no ladder of tiers where the thing you need sits one rung up. Extra companies and extra users are not price tiers here, and we are not going to charge by the minute for work your own computer is doing.
Where to check Every application page states its model under the version. You will never find out at the checkout.
Commitments

Things we will not do to you later

These are the practices that make software feel like a trap. We are writing them down so they can be held against us.

No forced upgrades A new major version never disables the one you already paid for.
No feature removal We do not move a feature you paid for into a higher tier later.
No ransom If you stop paying a subscription, your data stays yours and you can take it out.
No surprise metering Anything running on your own machine is never billed by how much you use it.
