RadarScope for Android and iOS. It's a professional grade weather radar app for the US (and Canada?) and is worth every ~~penny~~ nickel.
There are games I pay for, but only on Nintendo consoles. Aside from that, it's strictly write it myself or go without.
I definitely should donate to more FOSS projects, though.
Everyone around me is saying that DaVinci Resolve is great. It cost not an insignificant summ, so whether it actually worth it I will have to report later

This is an outbound application firewall for MacOS that allows you to block applications from phoning home. It blocks outgoing traffic rather than incoming traffic, which can be toggled within the firewall settings. It has a time-limited trial period, but I did the one-time-purchase for 9 $ and it served me well since I bought it in - I think it was in 2021 - originally to keep a not-so-legally-obtained Photoshop Suite from connecting to their servers. The app is not intrusive, no annoying pop ups or the like. The app launches automatically at system start up. Occaional updates (bug fixes or to match with the latest OS version) are included with the licence.
Today I use it to block a pirated version of SketchUp (the only remaining software I have installed that has been pirated) from calling home, als well as Affinity 2 (and, probably in the future) the now free Affinity 3 (since it was aquired by Canva).
I consider this app worth its money.

package disabler pro. I have a samsung phone and disables the bloat. It has to be side loaded.
Try Canta and Shizuku. It's a pair that work together and allow you to remove anything.

Propellerhead’s Reason.
It’s some of the best audio engineering software that exists and as I understand, impossible to pirate.

I've never found any paid software to be better at what it does than a FOSS version if one exists, and almost everything one can do with a computer has a FOSS version to do it with these days.
If I really can't find something I want that does what I need the way I need it done... I make it myself.
