€129 and €19.99 are the euro storefront prices. Apple sets the price for each region, so your App Store shows the exact figure for your country.
- One-time purchase
- You pay once on the Mac App Store and the app is yours. There is no subscription, no recurring charge, and nothing sold inside either app.
- Billing
- Apple takes the payment through the App Store, in the currency of your storefront. Prices are set per region, so your App Store shows the exact figure for your country before you buy.
- Updates
- Updates arrive through the App Store. Turn on automatic updates and new versions install themselves.
- Refunds
- Apple issues App Store refunds, not us. Ask through Report a Problem, under Apple's own policy and time limits.
- Platforms
- Both apps are Mac apps, sold on the Mac App Store. Studio for Windows and Linux is in private beta, with a waitlist on the download page.
- Open source
- Both apps are open source under the GPL. What the purchase buys is the ready-to-run, signed build from the App Store, with updates and support.
