I am so frustrated with misleading pricing and retention tactics by software recently. All my personal or work subscriptions increase double-digit yearly once they have locked you in. And after getting a huge share of the market, usually relying on user-generated content or artifically low prices, corporations then sit on their money-printing machine.

Anyway, I wanted to do what I could so I am starting a small project to collect tools with fair pricing (no misleading UI, easy cancelation, data export...). I analyze them manually and create a place for people to find them.

What are the software tools you are proud of using and think that respect these boundaries? I'd love to analyze more of them!
