paying for software is the exception, not the rule
Definitely agree with this. I think the only software I pay for individually is Dropbox at $10/month. Otherwise, I'm searching far and wide for a free substitute.

This has definitely been my experience. I've been building Android/iOS apps for manufacturing plant floors, and customers are happy to try anything to improve their business process.
