I agree, unless it’s straight up paid software which I usually don’t mind paying for if it’s good and I need it. Although arguably uBlock Origin is so close to perfection that I can’t imagine how a paid ad blocker would hold up.
What software have you paid for? Over here, proud owner of (off the top of my head) Keyboard Maestro, BetterTouchTool, Shottr, and superwhisper for Mac.
Would be hard to live without these automation/macro, screenshot, and dictation tools!
Shottr is legit. It’s really amazing that there aren’t more decent screenshotting tools when they’re so incredibly useful. People would rather just take a picture of their screen and upload it that way :cringe:
Shottr was well worth their Black Friday price ($12?). But the free version is entirely sufficient and worked well for me for over a year.
Snagit has 10 times as many features for several times the price, but somehow Shottr is like the most efficient app ever. So, so fast! But Snagit is more like Shottr plus a miniature Photoshop so can excuse some of that.
Oh hey, forgot Snippety the text expander 🔥 even has an iOS keyboard.
It’s not just a higher price, it’s an ongoing subscription. That’s not something I would ever agree to. It makes zero sense. It’s just greedy bullshit, in my opinion. Give me a flat fee and if it breaks or you add new features, I will decide if I want to pay again for an upgrade.

Great dev too, super responsive solo dude.

Shout-out to Beyond Compare! It makes my life as a many-hatted systems librarian much easier.
Nice, looks quite powerful
BC5 must be a huge upgrade for word wrap alone!
Oooh. I’ve not upgraded yet, but that looks exciting.
