I have not been impressed with what I've seen of Hero Lab Online, but the developers say it won't cost $70 a year. It's $34.99 for the Starfinder Core Rulebook, but server access will be a recurring charge.
Here's what they posted on their official forums today:

Considering what Hero Lab Online is offering and the ongoing cost for server access, I'd rather make and maintain my characters on old-fashioned paper.

Quote:That is an oversight in our description and the fault is ours for not catching it. We had initially planned to have server access available for purchase in the store at launch, which explained this, but a last minute issue prevented us from having it up in time. Unfortunately, in all the chaos, no one thought to go add something to the descriptions of what we do have that answered this perfectly understandable question. I apologize for any confusion this has caused!
I will have a lot of official answers up later today.
But wheredoigo is correct. It will not cost $70 a year. It will work like Hero Lab Classic does now only with the addition of server access. When you purchase the core rules, you get free service time along with it. After that expires you can choose to pay for 180 days of service at $14.99 or 365 days of service for $24.99.
