“I decided to go with a one-time payment because you know as you said that it's much easier to sell um a onetime fee for something uh than it is to sell a subscription if if your product doesn't have a really good recurring value um there is no point of charging your recurring Revenue”

Charge one-time when there's no genuine recurring value

Subscriptions only make sense when the product produces ongoing value for the customer. For a finished-asset product like a boilerplate, a one-time fee converts dramatically better — there's nothing to justify a monthly bill. Honest test: would the customer feel ripped off paying again next month? If yes, ship one-time.
