Before you cancel

Switching takes time. A free app may not do every job the paid app does. Read the gaps on each page before you cancel.

Some free apps need a computer you run. That cost is not in this total. Free tools have tradeoffs. The price sentence on each row is the one we used.

28 paid apps are not on this list. Their pages have no dollar price we can read. We left them off so this total does not guess.
