Read the catch on each before you switch. A one-time price is not automatically the better deal, and we say so where it is not.
 Pixelmator ProMac-native image editor you can still buy outright for $49.99 | $49.99Perpetual | The one-time build is drifting behind the subscription one, which gets the Warp Tool exclusively |
 Logic ProFull pro DAW with a very large bundled sound library | $199.99Perpetual | Mac only, and Logic Pro for iPad is subscription-only rather than part of this purchase |
 Final Cut ProApple's pro video editor, still sold as a one-time purchase | $299.99Perpetual | Some premium content is Creator Studio subscribers only, and Motion and Compressor cost extra |
