Fairware: Empowering users to use software without barriers, at a fair price

英国目前有190万专业自由职业者，其中超过438，000名数字自由职业者每天工作时间不到2.5小时，利用软件作为主要工具来交付工作。对于自由职业者来说，每人订阅3到5个软件并不罕见。这些订阅价格昂贵，不灵活，并且通常需要多次登录。每一个用户都受到同等对待，而忽略了一些用户是短期用户或轻度用户的事实。Fairware Ltd通过提供“按使用付费”软件流媒体平台，寻求满足这些短期、轻度用户在使用软件时需要更大灵活性的需求。这种技术创新将减少目前软件中存在的浪费和闲置，创造循环经济并减少对环境的影响。

There are now 1.9 million professional freelancers in the UK, with over 438,000 digital freelancers working less than 2.5 hours/day, utilising software as a primary tool to deliver their work. It is not uncommon for freelancers to each subscribe to 3 to 5 software.These subscriptions are expensive, inflexible, and often comes with multiple logins. Every single subscriber is treated the same, disregarding the fact that some are short term or light users.Fairware Ltd seek to address the need of these short term, light users who require greater flexibility in using software by offering a Pay As You Use software streaming platform.This technology inspired innovation will reduce wastefulness and idleness currently experienced in software, creating a circular economy and reduces environmental impact.
