Why people leave TinyPNG Pro
TinyPNG Pro is sold as a subscription — ~$39/yr + API fees, which works out to roughly $39 per year and $195 over five years. The product keeps working the same whether you pay or not, but access stops the moment you cancel: the fee is for permission, not for ongoing work done on your behalf. The tools above do the job on your own hardware or your own server, so the cost is fixed at the sticker price.

What happens to my data if I leave TinyPNG Pro?
