You have to pay a subscription just to get your photos out of the clip!? I like the idea of the clip, but what a huge dealbreaker

hmm, as far as I know you just pay the $10 a year if you want to have your photos stored on the cloud, but if you are willing to store all them yourself you can do that. But i'll double check that!

You don't need the subscription if you just want to export the photos locally. But the subscription fee is $9/mth, not year.

Ah, thanks for the clarification!
