There is no subscription. The app shows the current price before you buy.
How much storage do the language packs need?
It depends on the language. Individual packs can take up several hundred MB – the additional offline models for Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Catalan, for example, are around 340 to 360 MB per direction. So download only what you need, ideally on Wi-Fi. The app shows what will be downloaded beforehand.
