Free software runs on all consumer hardware and we’re going to show you the options you have, and how they compare with paid software. Free software is not always good but can also be better than many paid options. All you have to do is make an informed decision. We hope our guides will help you here.

When I had my first PC, back in 1995, if you can believe it, there was no Internet, no App Store, so it was almost impossible to buy software.

Plus, a lot of software was free. Yes, free, or shareware, which meant you could get a taste of what the program could do, for a limited time, or with reduced functionality.

Once the Internet became popular the Free trend continued. While I personally buy quite a lot of software licenses and pay for quite a few subscriptions, the majority of programs running on my Windows machine are free. Even on my Mac I run a lot of free software.

I’m not advocating not paying for software, but I just want to let you know that you don’t always have to pay, as there are a lot of free programs and online services you can use, if you don’t need some specific functionality, or support. Even gamers can play a ton of games without having to pay a dime for them.

If you’re looking for free software, tools, and games you have come to the right place. And if you subscribe to our free newsletter we’ll send you recomandations directly to your inbox.
