Would it surprise you to know that even large companies use free software in their everyday business?

Are you amazed by how much even simple software programs cost? Would you like all the features and performance of "big name" software but just can't afford it ?

Well FreeSoftwareAdvice.com has the answer!

Software companies are constantly trying to get you to buy their products, after all that's how they make their money.

They will often do deals with computer retailers to "bundle" low-feature software with new computers knowing that most people will quickly outgrow the programs and will want more.

Even worse, they often include trial software that "expires" and stops working after 30, 60 or 90 days leaving you with no alternative but to buy or uninstall it (not always easy). But by then you have only just learned how to use it and don't want to start again with a new program.

What if I told you that there were alternatives? That there was software out there being used by professionals that was completely free or at least far cheaper than that program you were force-fed.

Well, it's true. I virtually guarantee that if you walked into your local computer store and picked up a piece of boxed software that I could find a free (or much cheaper) alternative that would do the job just as well as or even better.

How do i know? Well over the last 10 years so I have done exactly that, both as an independant IT consultant helping everday folks and small businesses to save money and as a corporate IT Manager using free software to keep my networks running smoothly and under-budget.

By working your way through this site, learning some tricks of the trade and using some of the products I recommend I know that you will have fun, become more productive and above all save money. On top of that I have also included relevant articles where possible to help you get the most from your free software.
