Sublime Text 4 offers an unlimited evaluation period (with occasional reminders to purchase). A personal license costs $99 (or $65 for business/educational upgrades) and includes lifetime updates, official support, and a clear conscience. If cost is a barrier, consider VS Code, Atom (deprecated but still usable), or Sublime Merge (free for certain uses).
Sublime Text 4 offers a flexible licensing model. Users can purchase a license for personal or commercial use. The license key is provided upon purchase, which unlocks the full features of the software.
