what kind of utilities?

I am happy to pay $2 (or more) for tools I use if it is a one time payment or a payment for tokens (e.g. $n for $m ocr scans, generated images or whatever).

I loathe apps that demand monthly payments unless it is really understandable why they have to have it that way (service that require permanent storage comes to mind, although I think I only use iCloud for storage now).
