Subscriptions you'll keep and subscriptions you'll cancel?


At this time of the year I review my subscriptions.

What are some app / saas / services subscriptions you’ll keep because they’ve proven valuable to you?

What are some you decided to cancel?

I just recently cancelled Prime based on the news about putting ads on Prime Video; between that and the fact that shopping on Amazon has become a nightmare it's just not worth it.

Netflix is definitely on the chopping block, I don't know if there's anything of value there except for the final season of Stranger Things in, I assume, 2-3 years. They do still surprise me sometimes, though -- Bodies was a fun limited series.

HBO (or "Max" or whatever it's called this week) and Disney+ are hanging on for the moment. Apple Music I can't particularly recommend but it meets my needs. Apple TV+ has delivered a surprising amount of good content for a comparatively low price recently.

I don't actually have the option of cancelling it (it's "free" through my credit card), but DashPass has served me reasonably well. I'd probably be healthier and wealthier without it, though.

I'm keeping my ChatGPT Plus and Coursera Plus subscription for next year. Will likely cancel most of the other subscription to art and video generative AI.

All entertainment subs cancelled except yt premium. We had Prime, but cancelled it today. Their frequent price increases, and this new stealth price increase to stop ads was the last straw.
