VueScan Developer here. We have a subscription option - but that's really intended for customers who have short term scanning needs (ie. scan all of your slides). If you purchase a one-time VueScan license, you can use it indefinitely.

Shameless self promotion - I'm the author of VueScan Mobile which will let you scan to your iPhone/iPad using WiFi printer/scanners from Epson/HP/Canon. I've been using this for awhile to scan all of those random forms I seem to accumulate
