Just bought a HERCULES DJControl Starlight, Portable USB DJ Controller, 2 tracks con 8 pads

Hello! I just bought a HERCULES DJControl Starlight, Portable USB DJ Controller, 2 tracks con 8 pads, which is basically the little portable controller by Hercules. I'm an absolute beginner and I have a question: is Djuced free once you buy the controller? I have no clue how this works and I'm kinda tight on money so I'd like to know wether I have to buy the software or not. Thanks ❤️
