Only the cloud service is on a payment plan. You can easily run RW standalone, especially if you have players at the table or are willing to host a terminal view of the "player view". The cloud service, from what I've read, should be for sharing with players who want to browse through, say, everything you've shared with them either on a website or with their own copy of Realm Works or for sharing a world/setting with other GMs (even, potentially, offering them for sale). I don't know if at some point they will offer the ability to export a particular world/setting section of your database to a separate file, though. If they did that then you presumably might be able to share it that way. Which might be a nice feature request.
As to the player account thing, I'm pretty sure they've at least given the impression that a GM account can certainly do everything a player account can, it just has a bit more capability.
Just my 2 cents as a customer on what I think I've been reading and looking at, mind you. Official policy may vary from that.
