I think the subscription model needs to be refined.

500$/year (invented amount) for a Photoshop subscription that I’ll use 3 times in a year? But when I want it, I need photoshop, not $SOMETHINGELSE. Sell me a $5/day license and I’ll be happy to pay every time.

Subscription model is ok for heavily used software, but doesn’t properly address whatever I use every now and then.

There are also SaaS products with usage based pricing. It depends on what SaaS or software or product it is. Different pricing model works for different things.

but sometimes the product I need doesn't offert the right subscription for me.

For 3 times a year, it must be free because I can read 3 articles a month on HBR and Forbes for free.
