I'm somewhere in between. I also paid for a non subscription version and I also feel like I was forced to upgrade to the subscription. Sadly switching password managers, especially if you share with a family, is really painful.
We now pay the subscription, a tad begrudgingly, but I have to admit 1Password overall does a great job.
