Apple One is expensive but my whole family uses it and the only offered service I don’t really use much is Apple News.
Max. Better than Netflix any day.
- A seed box (Whatbox). I'm paying USD 15/month, and they've actually upgraded my storage and bandwidth twice now without any price increases. I think I've been using that for roughly 10 years now. At this point, it's cheaper than any single streaming service, while allowing me access to basically every TV show and movie ever produced, and I can easily share my library with friends via Plex. Now that I have *aars, it's very little effort to keep up with my favorite shows.
- Whatever the YouTube music thing is called now. I signed up when it was brand new, and while I occasionally consider going back to piracy for music, it's just not worth the effort for me these days, but I am extremely opposed to ads.
- Amazon Prime. I should probably cancel, but I don't have a car and definitely utilize the same day delivery quite often.
- Housing. Do mortgage payments & HOA fees count as subscriptions? Lol. I definitely get a lot of value out of housing, and appreciate the fact that I don't have to wonder if my landlord is going to renew my lease each year.

Amazon Prime - planning to cancel
Some that I use:
- Proton Unlimited, which gives me access to mail, storage and a VPN.
- Linode, I have a VPN which I use for selfhosting some things.
- Various domain names. They're actually cheaper than you think they are.
- Youtube Premium. I watch a lot of YouTube, and it helps creators.
- Discord Nitro. Begrudgingly.
- 1Password. Technically I don't pay for this, as I get it free as part of a plan from work, but I'd probably buy it when that runs out.
I'm kinda interested in watching streams more (to diversify my video watching habits), so am kinda curious about Twitch's ad-free premium plan thing as well...
Of course, there's also donations and patreon/subscribestar/ko-fi subscriptions, but I don't really consider those "subscription services".
- Mullvad
- Addy.io
- A TV EPG provider so i can set my HTPC USB receivers to record stuff each week for the family (1. It details for specific channels new series/new episodes for the week aired between certain times of day which websites dont seem to do 2. Its cheaper & far more efficient than a TV mag/newspaper 3. Its extremely cheap so great value)
- I donate to some open source projects/devs when I find I'm using a product regularly
Apple One+
Music, TV, Games, and 50GB storage for $10/month via Verizon.
Usenet (Grandfathered real cheap plan) Brewfather (Excelent recipe manager for beer brewing) Netflix + Spotify (Keeps girls at home happy) Domains (for selfhosting) Backblaze B2 & Cloudflare R3 (Backups)
Yeah that's it
If you can get 5 people for the Apple One Family plan, it's worth it.
- Apple Music
- Apple TV+
- Apple Arcade
- iCloud+
I have a subscription to natural gas I really get a lot out of
Mullvad.
I've been using Trade coffee for the last 2 years or so. The subscription basically amounts to free shipping.
The selection is good, and I get something new every time I order without having to go to multiple websites to see who has what in stock that I'd like.
I don't think their recommendations are that great, but the filter options make it easy to find something I am interested in.
Same. And the coffee is really really good
I subscribe to two podcast networks on patreon. I could listen for free, but I feel it's worth paying for the several hours a month of entertainment I get from them.
Spotify and DropOut for me!
Crunchyroll. Largest catalog I’ve seen and I don’t have to sail the seas for everything. Also enjoy all the dubs.
Signal Lemmy Pi-hole Bitwarden YouTube + a whole raft of creators
Proton Unlimited, Mullvad VPN and Kagi are all great. Standard Notes is a great app, too.
I want them to give us a proton login to Standard Notes like they do with SimpleLogin.
Yeah. Notes is quite pricey for what it is. I can't imagine development is that expensive..
NextCloud hosting, since I don't trust myself to do it safely.
BitWarden, 50/50 for the value and to support them.
Tuta.io, for the custom domain and extra storage.
Addy.io (or SimpleLogin)
Nebula, if the LG app was available where I live/on my TV (yeah, the household wants to use a spytv).
VPN
Logseq sync, need it for work, and its only £3.74 (5 cows for the Americans). Tried proton VPN plus as well, too expensive for me being £8.38, but its fine because their free tier is generous and I can do video calls with plus aswell. Food is also a good subscription, you can find food shops everywhere with great variety, but the price of the overall spend is higher, but if you buy high volume low cost food you can combat this price increase; some people like to spend extra and add alcohol to their subscription, but i don't see the appeal unless its liquor shots like Apple sour or Baileys, because they taste good.
Deezer. Last year I listened to 770hrs of music. The majourity of that using the suggestion algorithm. I couldn't buy that many albums and I certainly couldn't name the all the albums I've pulled songs from.
At home I'm an album person. But, in the distractions of everyday life keep blasting singles at me and I'll wait for something to catch my ear.
Also, Deez nutz jokes are so easy.
Trade coffee. I enjoy trying new coffees. And it's easy to pause the service if I'm traveling a lot and picking up coffees on my own.
Proton - Mail, VPN, Calendar, Passwords, Notes
PBS - Gotta support public broadcasting.
The Satanic Temple - Helping support women's rights, religious rights, compassion.

Uber Meats. Nothing but gabagool on demand.
But seriously, a VPN.
Marine Traffic - I live by the sea.
Proton Mail - trying to give up Gmail.
Bitwarden - had to stop using the same password for everything.
My Row Counter - for knitting, it's a fantastic app.
Amazon prime and all the million services that bundle with it.
