Paid

Verified Sep 2026

It costs money.

The things that are not free.

This hub filters the directory to blocks with a price tag: commercial software, hosted services and freemium products where a free tier exists but the ceiling costs money. It is the complement of the free and open-source listings.

Why it matters to an indie builder: paid software is a signal rather than a cost. A product charging money has revenue to fund reliability, security and support, and its roadmap answers to customers rather than a sponsor's strategy. For infrastructure choices, that accountability is often what a business actually buys.

A realistic way to use this listing: compare tools by what the paid tier includes, per-seat versus usage pricing, and where the free tier's limits sit. The pattern worth knowing is starting on the free tier of a service whose paid path matches your expected scale, so growth never forces a migration.

The trade-off of paid-first selection is lock-in and vendor risk, which the open-source and self-hosted hubs here address from the other side. Many mature products appear in both worlds; the license column in each listing says which.

Who it's for

Teams who want supported, accountable tools and are happy to pay for reliability.
