Aiseesoft Video Converter Ultimate suits people who want a one-time licence and need batch conversion, device profiles, trimming and cropping1,2,3. The lifetime plan lists at $62.45 for one PC and is shown at $49.963. The catch: the free version limits conversion to 5 minutes per file, and the vendor pages do not list H.265/HEVC, AV1 or ProRes as output, name GPU makers or describe a command line1,2.
Best for: People who want to pay once for a converter with batch conversion and extra tools.
