IDEAS THAT STICK. literally ðŸ˜

A Note from the Founder
Why Sticky is Free to Use
Hey — I'm Hamza Saleem, the solo developer behind Sticky.today.
In May 2026, I made a decision most SaaS founders won't make: I fired our payment processor and made Sticky completely free for everyone.
Here's why.
Software Should Be Free
Sticky started as a paid product. Pro plans, trials, subscriptions — the usual SaaS playbook. And it worked. People paid. But something felt off.
The best tools I've ever used didn't ask for my credit card. They just worked. Obsidian, VS Code, Blender — tools that respected me enough to not put a gate between me and my work. I wanted Sticky to be that kind of tool.
So I tore out every line of billing code. No more trials. No more upgrade prompts. No more payment gateways. Just a fast, free canvas for your ideas.
The Internet Has Enough Gatekeepers
Look around — every productivity tool wants $10-20/month from you. Per seat. Per feature. It adds up. And for what? Most of them are glorified text editors with a subscription attached.
Sticky is different. It's a spatial thinking tool built by one person who actually uses it every day. There's no board of investors demanding recurring revenue. There's no pressure to add "enterprise features" nobody asked for. There's just me, building software I believe in, and you, using it however you want.
I don't think thinking should cost money. Your brain doesn't charge you rent. Neither should your canvas.

If you read this far, thanks. If Sticky helps you think, that's the win.
