QuickBooks offers both subscription-based and non-subscription versions of its software. The availability of non-subscription (perpetual) versions may vary depending on the specific product and edition.

Here are some key points:

1. QuickBooks Desktop: QuickBooks Desktop is available in non-subscription (perpetual) versions, which means you can purchase a one-time license for the software. QuickBooks Desktop comes in several editions, including QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Premier, and QuickBooks Enterprise. You can purchase the software outright, and it does not require a monthly or annual subscription fee. However, to receive software updates and support beyond the initial purchase period, you may need to purchase an annual subscription plan.
2. QuickBooks Online: QuickBooks Online is primarily a subscription-based service. Users pay a monthly or annual subscription fee to access the software and its features. It does not have a non-subscription (perpetual) version like QuickBooks Desktop. QuickBooks Online is cloud-based and offers the advantage of remote access and automatic updates.
3. QuickBooks Self-Employed: QuickBooks Self-Employed is designed for freelancers, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals. It is available as a subscription-based service, and there is no non-subscription version.
