I am curious to know what saas or apps are HN user's paying out of their own pocket for? Not business apps, but for your own personal use.

Personally, I pay for feedly (rss reader), G Suite domain (for my personal email), beyondpod (podcast app for android), mighttext (syncs sms to gmail), todoist premium (task/to do app).

I found myself paying upwards of $100 monthly in these small incurring charges until my credit card was lost and they were all cancelled. I'll answer with what main services I used to pay for and what I replaced them with. Evernote got replaced by OneNote. It's not an equivalent, but it gets the job done. I moved from lastpass once they changed their subscription model to the free tier. I'm considering moving to bitwarden's free tier. I'm somehow unable to get together the few hours it will take to migrate a handful of sites and email accounts from my 1and1 site to something less painful, but every time I try to move, it becomes a small nightmare.
