What software do you pay for monthly?
What software do you pay for monthly?
ChatGPT, LinkedIn Premium (purchased at a 50% discount), Infinity for browsing Reddit on Android, Spotify, and YouTube Premium.
Among these, Spotify seems the least worthwhile to me. However, since YouTube Premium does the job and both are cheap, I keep subscriptions to both.
UpNote, since I really want to support the developer (they also have a one time payment option) and hope this notes app will stick around.
I don’t pay monthly for any software - I pay a few bucks for cloud services, web hosting and data sync/backup.
None, but I do pay for a few services, including BackBlaze and 1and1 hosting.
One time I subscribed to office 365, but that's outside my budget now.
Software is like tools, you buy once, and use forever. OR shareware on the internet, ideally a binary distribution you can keep forever.
IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. I have a personal license that I use for my side projects.
Web hosting to host my vanity domain.
DabbleWriter because it's a great product for writers
Not paying for any software yet and in the future I'm looking to self-host
Professionally: Superhuman. $30 for email sounds like a lot but given I spent 2-3 hours answering emails, even 5-10% boost is worth it.
Personally: Whoop. Tracking sleep is something I've become quite obsessed about.
ChatGPT, server hosting (DigitalOcean) for a personal blog, Kagi Search
Cloudflare, Vercel, Apple One & Google One that's it.
vps (vpsfree.cz, hetzner), online tv, spotify, netflix. I will probably support more sites I use after I reach financial independence.
Fastmail and Tailscale with Mullvad VPN
No software, only a few services
Honestly, not really any of it. My only real subscriptions (web hosting and domain name registration) are done on a yearly basis, and the one site with software I pay for is renewed on a 'when it's needed' basis (since the forum uses XenForo).
Monthly subscriptions just feel stressful for me, as does the idea of paying for something on a recurring basis in general.
Premiere Pro, it's worth it

None, good capitalists will optimize their expenses down to $0, and I also expect others to pay for the software I make.
