The App Store wanted a weekly subscription to turn MP4 into MOV. FFmpeg did the work for free all along; now the button is free too.
CapCut lets you edit the whole video, then wants a subscription at the Export button. Concat exports for free and never learned the word watermark.
“I was really excited to complete and upload my first video ever, and everything seemed perfect until I clicked Export and it showed a popup saying that I had to pay a monthly subscription fee to use the most trivial features like voice changers.”
GEOlayers 3 charges $329.99 to put a map in After Effects. LazyMapLayers does the globe-to-street flight for nothing, forever, no key.
“Paid map plugins for After Effects work, but they are expensive, depend on paid data partners, and still show their seams: blurry zoom steps, labels that pop, moves that stop halfway.”
Otter charges $16.99 a month to send your calls to its servers. Parrot transcribes them on your own Mac, no bot in the meeting, for nothing.
“I got tired of paying for services like Otter.ai that send all my conversations to some server I don't control.”
