Topic: Xbench for QA - do you like it?

Post title: They lost me with the subscription model
I normally don't mind buying paid versions of free software I use on an ongoing basis, assuming the cost-benefit ratio is reasonable. However, I have only one customer who requires XBench, and the functions they specify can be handled by the old (free) version. My main CAT tool, MemoQ, has the features I generally need for my work. Having to shell out 99€ annually for a tool that provides functions I don't need is an expense I can do without.
