5 free alternatives to popular paid apps you should check out

There's a bunch of software we all use regularly. Some for work, others for entertainment or personal use. Among these software, a few of them may be free to use, while others may be accompanied by a price tag. While the free versions are generally no-brainers since you can use them and uninstall them whenever you feel like, it's the paid ones that require some thought, since you may be investing a certain amount of money either as a one-time fee or as a subscription plan. Unfortunately, I didn't carry out a cost-benefit analysis before spending money on some popular apps, only to realize several free alternatives do the same job. Sometimes, an even better job.
