You have options so consider a move to Studio One “Sphere”.
It will cost you $15 per month as a Subscription and you will get EVERY PRODUCT they offer.

Or Reaper which costs $60 +taxes. In the Uk this is $72 which is about £60 depending on the exchange rate.
Or Cakewalk by Bandlab, which is free.
I always prefer the products that I don’t lose after I stop paying the subscription (because this comes eventually when you see the sum of expenses ).
One more reason to stay with Reaper.
On the other hand you DON’T pay for any upgrades with a Subscription. And as I pointed out you get EVERY SINGLE VI they offer.
Reaper is around $60 and the user has all the updates for free for about three years. And after that, the new version is again $60 or so. It is like $5 monthly, but if the user decides to stop paying, all that he has will stay on his PC. He won’t have just a newer major version. That’s all.
If he does the same with subscription-based DAWs, the moment he decides to stop, he has absolutely nothing to work with. Maybe Audacity, but this is not the same.
My 2 cents.
Hence the reason I’m keeping S1 Version 5 on my system which I had purchased. I went the Sub Route just to get all the additional stuff and it was cheaper than Upgrading by 30%. Presonus USUALLY comes out with a new version ($) every 2-3 years as well.
