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 bitw…

I actually get really excited when I need a new credit card, for just this reason. We should start some sort of service that just denies payment to every monthly subscription once every six months.

It is interesting to see that most people only pay for some large brand name services, would love to see more people paying for SaaS solutions from smaller businesses/startups and for more technical resons (I guess SME's would better qualify for this than individuals) As for my spending I guess I also fall short of the above point: Play Music - music streaming, Netflix - chill, Github - Private repos, GSuite - mostly…

Numerous comments here on HN suggest that this is due to lack of confidence in the startup/small business survivability.

If I am going to build a business, I would like to be reasonably sure that the tools I'm using to build it won't suddenly close if they lack funding.

Of course, this is by no means any guarantee, as there's also the case where a startup is so successful that some bigger company will buy it and close down the service anyway.
