    I think Vuescan is really pretty good software that’s at least twice as expensive as I’m willing to pay for it. Every time I come across it as a solution to a problem I realize that I could replace the obsolete hardware for the same or less.

      I don’t think so, it’s just $33 to buy it outright (no subscription). You can’t buy a good scanner or a printer for $33. It’s a good value for money, especially since the guy has to buy (and most importantly) test all that hardware for each release. It’s a lot of engineering time. But as I said, he probably forgot to add watermarking to the scanning stitching feature, so no purchase was necessary for me. The demo version is good enough for it!

        Not quite. It’s $33/year subscription, $100 to buy it outright ($200 for pro).

        If it was a one time $33 I would have purchased it a decade or two ago.
