There's no auto-renewal, you get an email telling you your membership is expiring and asks you to pay again.
What you've posted implies they're lying and they are verifiably not.
They're not lying as such but it's at least accidentally misleading. "It's a subscription" should be up front, then go into how it's prepay and well behaved.
How do you pay a single one-time payment at a per month rate? How many months do they charge for the one-time payment?
Usually a 'single one-time payment' would be a payment for life. Typically for apps they're <$10 for the lifetime of the buyer (or app if that dies first; there are issues around this sort of pricing, but people are expecting a minimum of several years).
What you appear to be describing would be a pre- payment plan at 80¢/mo.
I really don't understand how this is confusing for you.
This is not what I would call a one-time payment. If you wish to continue to use the website you pay again. That's just not what "one-time" means to me.
It's not confusing, it's just annoying marketing-speak in the sense that (paraphrasing) 'a simple one-time payment' is what customers like when purchasing something. Whereas the offer is not that, the term has been used in any case.
What is offered is 'a subscription without auto-renewal'.
If you really wish to understand my thinking I can elucidate you at length, but it seems we've spent way too long already discussing understanding of a particular piece of marketese.
