No subscription.
Bought one in a previous sale and love it.
But be aware that Nexx just released a new version. Here is a link to the new product on Nexx’s web page. None of upgraded features matter to me, though I wish they would provide more info about the “Cool new accessories coming soon” in case there might be something there I’d be interested in.

Filled with bugs and very complicated after getting parts to make it work with our brand new garage opener. there were constant wifi issues and didn’t work more than it did. (have it all in a box) Got “TheQ” made by chamberlin and it installed in minutes not hours and has worked like a charm
I haven’t installed mine yet, but the customer support is amazing. They replied to email immediately and sent me a free adapter/converter.
Soooo, instead of pushing a button in my car, now I have to open an app on my phone, wait for it to lad, decide if it wants to use the WiFi in my house or stay on the cell tower, then use the app to reverse all that through Skynet to open the door? What am I missing?
You can still open/close with your same remotes.
But now you can also:
-check your garage door status (ask Alexa if you wish)
-get a speaking phone alert every time the door is opened or closed
-see a history of door open/closings
-open/close the door from anywhere (let emergency workers/cat sitters into your house, vent CO, etc)
I installed last week, so far no issues. My garage is under the Wifi router room, so signal is strong. Connection issues seem to be the most common complaint.
