Whether you choose an annual or a monthly subscription plan for Beekeeper Studio, you're eligible for a lifetime usage license. This means you gain perpetual access to any version of Beekeeper Studio released within your subscription period, allowing you to use the software indefinitely without any additional payments.
Suppose you start an annual subscription on March 10, 2021. You'll receive a lifetime license for any version of Beekeeper Studio released until March 10, 2022. Even if your subscription ends, you can continue using any of these versions forever.
If you opt for a monthly subscription and complete 12 consecutive months, the same benefit applies. For example, if you begin your monthly subscription on March 10, 2021, and maintain it through March 2022, you'll have lifetime access to versions released during this period, even after you cancel your subscription.
Our customers are head over heels for the lifetime license, but there's more to Beekeeper Studio that keeps them subscribed:
Subscriptions allow us continue to provide updates and maintenance for things like new databases releases and new operating system requirements. It also allows us to invest in new features and enhancements to the app.
You can cancel your subscription anytime but you'll no longer have access to the latest improvements.
We do not offer one-time payments for Beekeeper Studio
NET billing is available if you commit to 2 years of the team unlimited plan, or if you purchase an enterprise plan.
