Subscription only? I stay away from subscriptions. I thought awhile back it was going to be offered as an outright purchase?
If you login, you can purchase it for $495.
Not a bad price... 4 year break even point. When you compare it to other software that does monthly / lifetime, it usually takes 5+ years to break even, and the one time purchase does not include free updates like gtracer does.
When comparing to vector magic .. vector magic desktop is $295. Vector magic hasn't been updated in 5+ years... So you also need to consider that before purchasing. It works great, but there's always improvements.
Gtracer has a 30 day trial, so it's worth checking out .it is a few steps above illustrator/Corel... I didn't get to test it enough to say whether it's better than vector magic. I do like the font identifier/replacement, I never tried that part of it... But if it's halfway decent, I'd say it's worth the price alone just for that function.
Keep in mind it's not perfect. Acceptable for most stuf, but anything important, or anything you need to be accurate.. vector doctor is the guy to go to on here!
