recreational user
Does it occasionally
A recreational user is someone who uses something—typically drugs or software—casually rather than professionally or habitually.
With drugs, it distinguishes occasional, social use from addiction or medical necessity: He's just a recreational user, not an addict.
With software, it contrasts hobbyists with paying professionals: The free tier is fine for recreational users.
