Check www.writelog.com . They have a "newbie special" for $18.
Intended as a trial, but fully featured.
I have been using WL for ten years or so. Back then it was twice the
price initially, and then an annual fee of $30 or so just to maintain
it. That money was and still is the best money I ever spent on
something for the shack.
It is an even better deal now, and my yearly cost is less because I
don't upgrade every year.
Since you are already comfortable with a different package, YMMV.
