A planner without a subscription
Every planner worth using wants $4 to $34 a month, forever, for a list of what you are doing this week. Sevens is $25 once. This page is the argument for why that is the right way round.
What a subscription actually costs
| Planner | Per month | After three years |
| Sevens | $0 — paid once | $25 |
| TeuxDeux | $4/month | $108 |
| Sunsama | $22/month | $612 |

Why pay once works here
A subscription is fair when a product costs its maker money every month —
servers doing real work, a team keeping something alive, an API being paid
for. A weekly planner is not that. It is a page of your own writing, synced
between your own devices.
So Sevens charges once. The money comes from the next person who buys, not
from billing the last one forever. That is a smaller business, and a more
honest one.
The counter-argument, said out loud
One-time pricing only holds if the product keeps improving. If it stops, the
model failed and you are left holding something that stopped moving.
Which is why: every feature added later is included, your weeks export as
plain JSON in one click, the app works offline from a single file, and there
is a 30-day refund with no questions. If Sevens stops being worth it, you
keep your data and you lose nothing further.
What "yours" means in practice
Nothing is deleted
If you never buy, your weeks stay readable and exportable forever. You just
cannot add or edit until you do.
Everything later is included
Recurring tasks, a calendar feed, a weekly recap — whatever comes next
arrives at no further cost.
One click to leave
Export is plain JSON from the account page, and you can import it back.
