few/little/some software (in plural)

Question

I would like to say:

Available calculation methods are limited to few software. With "few", I mean 3 programs. However, "software" is an uncountable noun. "Some" and "little" sound also weird?

Available calculation methods are limited to few software.

Available calculation methods are limited to little software.

Available calculation methods are limited to some software.

'Software' is probably in the process of being countified, though I'd agree 'softwares' is non-standard at the present time. — Edwin Ashworth, Feb 17 '21 at 11:35
Do answers here answer your question? What is the plural form of "Software"? Various workarounds are suggested. — Edwin Ashworth, Feb 17 '21 at 11:39
'Software' is a general term: a category. It is not synonymous with 'program' or 'application'. — Weather Vane, Feb 17 '21 at 12:05

As you say, "software" is uncountable. This leaves you with a number of options, such as "software packages" or "pieces of software".
