BuyOnceMarket — Curated Marketplace for Perpetual Software Licenses

BuyOnceMarket — Curated Marketplace for Perpetual Software Licenses
The Problem
Subscription Fatigue Crisis: The average SME uses 87 software subscriptions costing €4,200/month. Many tools are used sporadically but billed monthly. A design agency might use video editing software 3 times per month but pay €29/month indefinitely.
Lack of Total Cost of Ownership Transparency: Businesses don't realize that €29/month = €348/year = €1,740 over 5 years. For software used occasionally, buying once at €299 makes more financial sense.
Trust and Discovery Problem: Perpetual licenses exist but are scattered across individual vendor websites. No central marketplace provides vendor vetting, customer reviews, or purchase protection for one-time software licenses.
Hidden Costs in Subscriptions: SaaS pricing includes ongoing support, updates, and server costs many users don't need. Power users want the software without ongoing dependencies.
