Pricing
Owners of any previous version of SecuritySpy can purchase version 6 with a 25% discount off the full price.
Starting with version 6, there will be no more paid major releases. Instead, improvements will be delivered continuously. Each purchase includes a two-year support period covering all software updates and technical support. You can extend this before it expires at a quarter of the full purchase price per year, with additional discounts for multi-year extensions.
Unlike a full subscription model, SecuritySpy remains fully functional after the support period ends. Extensions are optional, simply offering continued access to updates and technical support.
