Tired of paying for overpriced, cloud-locked subscriptions year after year? I help home users, students, small businesses and anyone who values their privacy save money on the software they actually need, with one-time purchase licences and free, private, offline-friendly alternatives. I help people across Stretton and Brisbane, onsite or remotely.
Escape the subscription trap
In 2025 Microsoft quietly pushed subscription prices up by as much as $50 a year, no warning, no asking. If you are tired of paying for software you barely use, it is a good time to look at what else is out there.
Better software does not have to cost more
You do not need to spend hundreds on office tools, a PDF editor or an antivirus suite. There are high-quality alternatives, some of them free, private and happy to run offline, that do the job without the recurring bill.
What I offer
- One-time purchase licences. Pay once, own it, no recurring fee. Licences for Office, PDF editors, design tools and more, for personal or small business use.
- Free alternative recommendations. Secure, privacy-respecting office, design and productivity tools that hold their own against the paid options, without harvesting your data.
- A toolkit built around you. Student, freelancer or retiree, I put together the setup that fits how you work rather than a one-size-fits-all bundle.
- Setup, migration and support. I install it, move you off the old software, and make sure it all works before I am done.
