Ask HN: How to avoid subscription practice while pricing the product

I am trying to see what other alternatives exist other than subscription model. Subscription model is annoying to me. I had to track my subscriptions. I am in subscription hell.

So now I am planning to launch a SaaS product, I am trying to is there a better way to price the product other than subscription.

Few options I have is, 1. Pay as you use. Like cloud 2. % upfront with upfront commitment. 3. quarterly - half-yearly pay
