Sure, then it depends on how good or bad the "other things" are. Subscriptions are better than a zap-share for sure. Zap-share is better than advertising. Donating or paying on individual purchases (new releases, modules, features, etc) is better than subscriptions because you signal how much you liked the new things in a very explicit manner. Subscriptions are less ideal because money flows in independent of the release schedule in a way that devs and executives see money coming in reglarless of what they do. The feedback system is not that strong.
Base subscription, with payment for new features would be highest signal, in your opinion?

I don't even think you need a base subscription. It is a harder model to make things work, especially because it is not that common anymore, but it is worth a try.
You’re right. People don’t like to pay for the things they use. I feel like I’m pissing into the wind, when I suggest it.
