I used to pay for Crashplan until they terminated the plan I was on.
I hop on and off the paid plan of my own SaaS just to test the payment flow from time to time ;-)

#42Apps, in the strictest sense? I can't think of any that are purely personal. Unless you count entertainment oriented stuff like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime with some "add on" channels like Shudder and HBO.

#43A good amount! Media: Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime, put.io Personal "Work": GitHub, Heroku, Photoshop, Sketch, Dribbble Pro Workflow: Superhuman, Dropbox, 1Password Donations: Wikipedia, Watsi
Interesting to see superhuman there, I thought that died after being in the media for a brief while. Is it worth the subscription? What makes it that you would really need it, for you, not the ads.

#45I 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.
Except more and more cards and services are moving to things like the Visa Account Updater server [0] that allows recurring transactions to continue even after changing card numbers.

Zwift is pretty much the best SaaS service I've ever paid for. My wife and I had a baby recently and it's let me stay in shape while watching him. I think even when I can ride outside more again I'll keep using it -- the way it gamifies cycling makes it a better workout and almost more fun than the real thing.

I think Code42 ended up removing their consumer business to Carbonite in some form of partnership. Looks like Crashplan is just for businesses these days.

Have you tried not using R#? The only reason I ask is that a lot of its utility now exists in Visual Studio.
R# actually overwrites many default VS key bindings and provides the same functionality, just with a different UI. So people are like "hey look what I can do!", when in actuality they could have done the same thing without R#.
Also, it's a resource hog. I've only met a handful of people who contest this - and they are long time users, who haven't gone without resharper recently (full uninstall) for a meaningful period of time.
