# How we make money.

You pay for the program, and that is the end of the arrangement. Why that difference is not cosmetic.

## We don't build cloud dependencies and call it a feature.

Most software today is handed to you free and paid for with your data. We do not do that. You pay us money, we give you a program, and that is the end of the arrangement. Switch the panel to see why that difference is not cosmetic.

<!-- verse:royalsoftworks
     2. Samuelova 22:57
     Jer obuzeše me smrtni bolovi, potoci nevaljalih ljudi uplašiše me. Bolovi grobni opkoliše me, stegoše me zamke smrtne. U teskobi svojoj prizvah Gospoda, i k Bogu svom povikah, On ču iz dvora svog glas moj, i vika moja dodje mu do ušiju.
