One license, all three modes: Listen, Perform, Prep. No tiers, no mode-gating, no monthly anything. The trial is the full product; the license just makes it yours.
CueDJ has no cloud costs to pass on because there's no cloud in it. Analysis and mixing run on your machine. A subscription would be charging you rent for your own CPU. We'd rather sell you an instrument.
What "lifetime of 1.x" means: every 1.x release is included. If a 2.0 ever exists with a paid upgrade, founders get the steepest discount we offer and 1.x keeps working: your license never turns off. Payments are handled by our payment processor; we never see your card.
