If you want to make a one-time purchase, then you need 1Password for Mac, bought via the App Store or direct from AgileBits, and the free 1PW for iOS (which has an in-app purchase for additional features). Be aware that major upgrades may require an upgrade fee (1PW3 to 4 was paid, 4 to 5 and 5 to 6 were free; I reckon it's time for a paid upgrade, but this is just a user guess), and that an upgrade discount can only be obtained if you buy direct from AgileBits, there's currently no way of getting a discount in the App Store.
The new subscription model can be (and usually is) paid annually, if it's just the convenience of payment that concerns you. It may turn out more expensive in the long run, but (particularly with the current six month free) over the first two or three years is cheaper than one-time payment. It's your choice, AgileBits offer both possibilities, but I reckon the subscription is worth looking at. See https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/68576/whats-the-difference-between-a-1password-subscription-and-a-standalone-license#latest for a general discussion of the versions.

Hi Ben,
Am I to understand that If I purchase the standalone on the APPS store I will not be paying any subscription fees in the future? It is not clear to me what advantages the mobile pro version-pad version provide. I am definitely not a fan of subscription models.

No subscription fees, but there will be paid upgrades offered in the future. They aren't mandatory, of course, but we do not guarantee the compatibility of older versions of 1Password with the latest OS. For the best compatibility we highly recommend being on the latest version.
You can read the upgrade policy regarding standalone licenses here:

It is not clear to me what advantages the mobile pro version-pad version provide.
You can read about the Pro features here:
Pro features in 1Password for iOS
They are included with the subscription options. They are a separate purchase when buying the standalone license.
One of the advantages of the subscription option is that it is easier to budget for.
I hope that helps. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.
Ben
