Having been in business most of my life I also saw through the whole "lifetime" pricing model BS. That is no way to sustain a company. I might have considered it a valid option IF the application were open-source and I could take over development should the company collapse, but clearly that isn't the case.
LogTen Pro has a great UI and is a full-featured app in general, but it's restricted to the Apple ecosystem -- something I'm phasing out in my life -- and (like Apple) overpriced for what it does. I'm not paying $130+/yr for this service. If they can get it down to $50/yr and go multi-platform I'll reconsider it.
I'm now using Safelog mostly because it is reasonably priced and works well. I have several devices, both ios and android and they all sync to the Safelog's cloud. I also do some updates via a browser on a PC and I find that very handy, as I prefer to leverage large screens at home whenever possible.
Depending on who you fly for, there is an enterprise discount. For Mac+ipad+Iphone. It gets marked down to $100/year
