Are you more likely to try a new VTT if it offers a one-time purchase?

I would only switch to a new VTT if they have a self-hosted option.

My answer is nuanced - I want self-hosted, I just don't want to host it. I want to have the hosting entity different from the developer for separation of concerns. So in this case, you'd need to have a cottage industry around the VTT with companies that handle the hosting.
