Ask HN: What subscriptions do you pay for?

14 points by tzimo ↗ HN
I am looking for a list of useful subscriptions that are worth investing in. VPNs, music, password managers, etc.

What subscriptions do you have and how much do they cost?

Sort of... subscription software, not the same thing... something I actively avoid.

Services are fine, like BackBlaze for backups, or 1and1 for domain/mail hosting

Spotify, 14 or 15 quid a month.. Funnily enough I have the duo plan and still pay for my ex girlfriend to use it too. (in fairness I used to use her acct. when I was broke)

HBO - $14/m (?) - Legacy ad-free. Can't recall the exact cost off the top of my head

Hulu - $12/y - Will cancel it a year from now

1Password (password manager), iCloud+ (cloud storage), Arq (backup software), BackBlaze B2 (backup hosting), various streaming services (switching from month to month).

I have also paid for e.g. Sublime Text 4, not sure if that counts as a sub. I used to pay for email (KolabNow), but recently switched to a free email provider.

I would pay for Dropbox if they offered a reasonably priced tier between 2GB and 2TB (similarly to Apple’s 200GB tier), since Dropbox handles Git repos well compared to Google Drive/iCloud/OneDrive.
