Why limit your price to LTV for the offline-only version? Think of it as a full blooded product, instead of trying to squeeze it into the SaaS thinking model you've got already.
Plenty of enterprise (and such) clients wouldn't balk at all at a $500 fee. Brainstorm your target market and price accordingly. In other comments, you're mentioning the support burden - I don't think you should sell the offline version if you're not ready to lift that burden, and thus should price it in a way where this is attractive to you.
Offline versions are usually used by more demanding customers in the current day and age - the web is where you go for the user-friendly version.

The main thing to focus on here, however, is that this offering would not be for your usual audience. If that's all you expect from it, I would rather not bother. It's a separate market, and while there's some bleedover, I think you'll be surprised how different they are.
You can always try to play it safe and put in a contact form for discounted quotes (nonprofits, individuals, etc). This depends a lot on your capacities, but it could quickly tell you if you're pricing out desirable customers.
