Pretty cool that both Windows and Linux both are supported and already exist. Keep up the good work!
I also appreciate the easy to read and clear privacy policy about what telemetry and data this SaSS platform collects and how it is handled.

Don’t you want to be the customer rather than the product?
The reason I'm open to paying a monthly fee for a SaSS offering is to keep getting new features and timely security updates, and support ensuring the recurring expense aspects of the service can stay alive. It's not entirely clear to me yet why PortMaster needs to be a SaSS, but it's not implausible.
I don't have any Windows or Linux desktop machines in regular use currently, looking forward to trying this out once the Mac version exists.
To clarify, I'm absolutely not subscription shaming, and I understand that startups are effectively forced to use a SaaS model in order to attract investors.
I personally consider that a "pro". You may not have experienced subscription fatigue yet, which is great.

You may have misunderstood — Little Snitch is a paid product that collects no data.
Edit: Shipping such a component enabled by default might be unexpected for applications of this nature and easily overlooked, which is why I mention it.
