A-S-C logo

The Anti-Subscription Catalogue unites 109 non-subscription, free, open-source, and one-time fee software in 15 categories — which can provide relief from monopolized and financialized platforms. Why? The subscription cost can rise at any time, implement region-based barriers, and use deceptive design interactions to entice with tiered features. Say no to creative rent! Just A-S-C instead.
