Bitwig Studio is not a subscription but a perpetual license where you pay once for the current version and receive 12 months of free upgrades, after which your software still works, but you need to purchase a new upgrade plan for future updates. You can start with a smaller version and only pay the price difference when upgrading, and each license can be used on up to three computers at once. The upcoming Bitwig Studio 6 beta will be available soon, and there will be a live stream to explore its features together.
