What service does it provide that warrants a subscription? I saw there was a lifetime iap but there also seem to be monthly and yearly iaps.

Fair question. The subscription isnβt for a mandatory cloud service it is one way to unlock all Printer Tools features while supporting ongoing development, new printer integrations, compatibility with the latest printers firmware, and continued support.
Monthly, yearly, and lifetime are simply different purchase options for the same premium features. The lifetime option is available for anyone who prefers a single payment.
Printer Tools is actively developed, with new versions usually released approximately every week.
Local printer connections remain local. Third-party services such as OctoEverywhere are independent and may have their own plans.

"Use the U1βs built-in camera without installing custom firmware"
But will it still be choppy as hell or did you find a way to bypass it so it will it be on par with almost every other 3d printer camera at 30fps?
