I like the idea of Fetching very much. But, fundamentally, I will not do recurring web subscriptions, and would rather pay a one-time small license fee. Many are the apps and plugins I've passed on because they require a recurring subscription fee. Not going to go there, it's not a business model I can support except in very few exceptions, not the norm.
