About

what we believe

Small software tools, built to be genuinely useful and honest about what they cost.

Speranda, Latin for the things that are to be hoped for, makes small tools and keeps them working. Where a tool can be free, it's free. Where it can't, you pay once and own it. And when a tool runs on something that costs money every month, like a paid API or a server that never sleeps, it carries a subscription, kept as low as those costs allow. The promise was never “you'll never pay.” It's that you'll never pay for nothing.

How pricing works

never pay for nothing
Free

Whenever a tool can stand on its own: no account, no trial, no catch. Most of the catalog lives here.

Pay once

When ownership makes sense, one price and it's yours, updates included.

Subscription

Only when a tool has real monthly costs, like servers or a paid API. Priced to cover them, not to pad them.
