White noise guideA no-subscription iPhone app does not require a recurring monthly or yearly payment. It may be free, paid once, or sold in a one-time purchase bundle.
Not always. One-time pricing is useful for focused tools, but subscriptions can make sense for live collaboration, large cloud storage, or services with ongoing server costs.
Check the current App Store pricing, whether the app works offline, whether it requires an account, what data it stores, and whether ads or tracking are part of the business model.
