OWN THE STORE. Pick your plan.
The Player Plugin is $99.99 lifetime, $29.99 a year, or $7.99 a month. Annual and monthly renew for continued support and updates. Lifetime is pay once. Either way, your storefront lives on your WordPress, not on a marketplace lease.
Meanwhile, marketplace rent: $120–$600 / year, every year

What the license includes
Each plan includes updates and email support for its Freemius term. Annual renews yearly; monthly renews each month. If you let a term end, the software keeps running on your site. Renewing extends support and updates. It does not turn your storefront back on. It never went off.
What it costs to run
The Player Plugin requires free Easy Digital Downloads or WooCommerce. Gateway fees (PayPal, Stripe) are charged by those providers. Never by BeatStore. Contracts is optional. The player already sells license tiers without it.
