Hi all, Pricing for the Online Editor has come up a lot since the v2 announcement, so I wanted to share where we’ve landed. It’s one-time pricing with lifetime updates, no subscription. Two plans, both per domain: Free — included with Elements, unlimited domains. For personal sites and small proj…

It was always a strength of the whole Elements development process that users can give feedback even it was not always what you would like to hear :blush: I personally have no problems with paying a higher price and the product perfectly fits my needs.
