The problem with Araxis Merge is you have to pay for upgrades. Sure you don't "have to", but eventually it stops working for some reason and/or you get new machine, cant find the license key, and it's awkward so you end up having to buy a new one.

I've used it for more than 15 years, and bought it 3-4 times. I honestly don't believe it's worth that, and I'm not going to buy it again. I would be willing to pay what they ask for a years license, to actually own it in perpetuity, only receiving updates when OS changes stop it functioning. As they won't offer that, I no longer use it.
