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…

How does one utilize the chill functionality of Netflix?

Also: Netflix, Prime, iCloud, and CrunchyRoll.

In order of amount I pay for each service: Atlantic.net (Hosting), Fastmail, Discord Nitro, Todoist, Private Internet Access, Twilio Some that I paid for in excess of 1+ years (or Lifetime): Freedom.to, Brain.fm Couple that I'm using premium plans, but not currently paying for (prolonged trial offers, etc.): Reddit Gold (still have several years left), Todoist

Have you liked Brain.fm? I used to use it, but started to think it wasn't really worth it/much more useful than regular whitenoise

I have a dedicated machine from online.net that hosts a few services that would incur a monthly cost but self hosting helps save a bit of cash there. These are: GitLab for private projects (because I work with a team and per-seat costs multiply fast), Confluence and Jira for project management (again, team size scales the cost and a self-hosting license is only $20/yr).

As for actual SaaS: Backblaze personal, Adobe full suite ($400 per year I think, gives me everything I need for art/video projects), A password manager, and... that's it actually! No netflix, no google, no dropbox, I'll probably keep it this way.

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 have a separate credit card that I put all recurring charges on - it keeps it so much easier from some of them getting lost in the mix of your regular transactions - also let’s you get a sense of just how much you’re spending on that stuff
