There are also developers who don’t ask for money, but instead request that you send them a postcard or send an amount to a charity.įreeware can also be classified as shareware, except it’s, well, … free.

For that, you have the whole category called Shareware/Freeware.Īccording to the entry in Wikipedia, shareware is software that is “typically obtained free of charge, either by downloading from the Internet or on magazine cover-disks.” The program is either a reduced-functionality version of a full application or game (crippleware), or asks the user to pay for the software after a trial period (nagware). But how about a small application that only does one thing, like MetronomeX, a free audio/visual metronome for OS X. Not that I’m above spending hundreds of dollars on software I use every day, like Final Cut Studio, Microsoft Office, Adobe’s Creative Suite – all titles whose boxes are staring at me as I write this article. If you were to ask one of my children what the family slogan is, they would respond, “Mommy and daddy are cheap tightwads.” My son thinks that moths live in my wallet and that Scrooge was an amateur compared to me. Or how about students, who, after spending their last bit of pocket change on some yummy ramen noodles, don’t exactly have a few hundred dollars left for a graphic-editing application. Why would anyone need low-cost software? I’m sure that some people, after switching from the PC, realize that they need some software to put on their shiny new Mac and their pockets are now empty.
