How can it be free?
There is no company behind SayThrough to pay for. It is an open-source project built on an openly licensed symbol library — ARASAAC — and it runs in a browser, so there are no app-store fees, no servers to rent and no accounts to administer. Nothing is held back for a paid tier, because there is no paid tier and no plan to add one. More questions answered here.
You can try it in the next thirty seconds. No sign-up, no download, and nothing to uninstall if you decide against it.
