A one-time purchase with a catch
ScreenFlow sells as one-time, but Telestream charges for major versions. Upgrade from ScreenFlow 10 to 11, pay again. The true multi-year cost is higher than the sticker.
ShipClip's License is one-time, period. Every future release ships to every License holder. The version you buy today is the version you'll have in three years, plus everything added since.
