Why a perpetual license instead of a monthly subscription?
Most accounting systems today are sold as a monthly or yearly subscription per user. The amount looks small at first, but it repeats every month for as long as your business runs, and it grows with every new user or branch. And when the payments stop, access to your data stops.
With RivDesktop you pay once, the system belongs to your business, and your data stays on your own machines.
| Criterion | Monthly subscription system | RivDesktop |
|---|---|---|
| Payment | Recurring monthly or yearly subscription | One payment, perpetual ownership |
| Cost over 5 years | Adds up every month and with every user | Fixed |
| Updates and technical support | Only while the subscription is active | Always included |
| Working without internet | Usually not | ✔ |
| Where the data lives | The vendor’s servers | Your own machines |
| If payments stop | Access stops | The system is yours |
