How did TypingMind monetize?

Summary of the sourced claims below

TypingMind initially monetized through one-time or lifetime purchases, allowing users to pay once and use their own API keys without a mandatory monthly subscription for the core app. Over time, TypingMind introduced a team version that added recurring subscription revenue, which now accounts for about half of the monthly total revenue. Additional subscription sources include a Cloud Sync & Backup server and a custom team version requiring servers and databases, both of which require subscriptions.
