At Spyteware Studio, I use a sliding scale to keep community-focused tech accessible. Those with more resources help sustain the work so I can offer reduced-cost (or free) services to folks most in need.
Not sure where you fit? That’s okay — we’ll talk it through. This runs on honesty, respect, and care — not gatekeeping or paperwork.
Free – $25/hr
For: trans folks in crisis, disabled people, low-income clients, and mutual aid groups.
You don’t need to justify your need. You deserve tech that protects you, period.
I reserve part of my schedule for Solidarity-tier work. Urgent safety needs may be prioritized, and I’ll always communicate timelines clearly.
