Why does Spaceduck not have a free plan?
At Spaceduck, we're charting a different path- one that avoids the traps many tech giants have fallen into. From invasive tracking to selling user data, “free” isn't truly free when your privacy becomes the price.
Here's why we've chosen a 7-day trial instead of a free plan:
Nothing is free
Many companies lure users in with “free” software, but the hidden costs often include tracking every move and monetizing personal data. Spaceduck is different. We believe in charging a fair price for software that's thoughtfully designed, responsibly maintained, and genuinely respectful of your privacy.
By skipping a free plan, we stay sustainable and transparent. Your subscription keeps our platform running smoothly and ensures we never resort to shady tactics like selling your data.
You're our investors
Free plans often rely on venture capital, forcing companies to prioritize investors over users. At Spaceduck, our paying users are our investors. This means we're fully focused on building a product that serves your needs—not chasing market monopolies or outside pressures.
Your subscription enables us to invest heavily in the infrastructure needed to keep Spaceduck fast, reliable, and intuitive.
Sustainability matters
We're in this for the long haul. By charging fairly from day one, we've built a sustainable business that avoids boom-and-bust cycles. Profitability allows us to grow thoughtfully, hire responsibly, and improve Spaceduck based on your feedback—not the whims of venture-backed growth metrics.
Transparency is our promise
Unlike companies that obscure how they make money, we're upfront about our model. Your subscription pays for our software—end of story. No ads, no data selling, no shady deals.
We don't just sell a product; we offer peace of mind:
- We don't share or sell your data. Ever.
- We don't serve ads or partner with advertisers.
- We're here to build tools, not exploit your privacy.
A 7-day free trial
While we don't offer a free plan, we provide a 7-day free trial. This gives you plenty of time to experience Spaceduck and see its value firsthand. We're confident you'll love it enough to stay—and we're excited to have you join a growing community of people saying no to invasive, extractive tech.
Your subscription isn't just a transaction; it's an investment in better software and a better internet. Thank you for being part of this movement.
