- YouTube Premium
- Netflix
- Torguard VPN
- Google One for storage
That's about it. I don't use ChatGPT often enough to sub. I sometimes subscribe to Canva Pro if I have a project ongoing.

Spotify but only because we are all sharing a family plan and the price makes sense at that point for the convenience.
As soon as Spotify gets rid of family plans and account sharing (just like all other streaming platforms) I’ll sail the seas with Lidarr.
- Firefox Relay ($1/month)
- Bitwarden ($22/year, premium + family org)
- Inoreader ($15/year, Supporter to be ad-free)
- Joplin (donating 2$/month to the dev)
- Spotify (Family plan)
- Netflix (2 screens, HD)
- Amazon Prime (for faster free shipping and Prime Video)
- Amazon Kids+ (for the kids Fire HD tablets, they can play almost anything they want)
- IFTTT Pro+ ($4/month, legacy plan)
- NextDNS ($28/year) for the convenience of a pihole-like setup without having to host it
- Google One 2TB for the extra features and storage for my wife's business at home.
- Cheap-ass VPS on Atlantic.net ($1/month, legacy plan)
- 2 domain names, around $25/year for both on NameCheap

- YouTube Premium
- Apple One Family (Music, TV+, iCloud, Arcade)
- HBO Max (best value for high quality content but Apple is very close these days)
- Prime (barely use it but it's $12/yr here)
- Game Pass Ultimate
- Usenet Farm, couple of odd blocks and indexers
- Carrot Weather
Considering paying for RSS provider but they all seem overpriced for what they do above Feedly free tier.

- ChatGPT
- Midjourney
- YouTube Premium (which I get through a mobile phone subscription at a heavy discount)
- Spotify
- Channel4 ad-free (UK broadcaster)
In addition I support a range of software through GitHub and Patreon:
- PhotoPrism
- Gluetun
- Little Navmap
- wg-easy
- DuckDNS
Finally I’ve got paid access to a couple of major and minor media sources:
- Washington Post
- Jyllands Posten (largest Danish newspaper)
- Olfi (specialised Danish defense news, named after a Danish frigate Olfert Fisher)
- Krigskunst (“The Art of War”, specialised Danish defense podcast)
- Det Hemmeligste at Det Hemmelige (podcast about spy craft and stay behind movements during the Cold War - just gone behind a pay wall but used to run on a public service channel)
Only a 3.50€ VPS on OVH. Gets the job done. For music I just use firehawk52’s Deezer ARLs to download the music. For TV shows/movies the obvious is piracy. The whole subscription model drives me away from services.
My financial /spending data has a price
I give some bucks to disroot for email and cloud services and I donate monthly to a local server that hosts a mastodon instance and some other goodies. I occasionally donate to some software projects
My partner subscribes to media services which I use too, like max, Spotify and others.
Bitwarden
Proton Family
Spotify Family
Nintendo online
1 small Contabo VPS to host rocket chat
1 larger Contabo VPS for my main Nextcloud and Immich instances
Mullvad and Tuta are the only services I pay for monthly
1Pass NordVpn ChatGPT YouTube Premium
Surfshark VPN and YouTube premium. Recently cancelled Netflix and Amazon prime. Not much but I've had enough of subscriptions.
- Bitwarden
- Addy.io
- Backblaze B2 (technically not a subscription)
- Managed Nextcloud (Hetzner)
- Webhosting (Hetzner)
I'm a student and I don't work that much so I try to keep the costs down. I considered selfhosting Nextcloud but it doesn't seem worth it for now.
How do I webhost with Hetzner? I want to get into server hosting and Hetzner is a small business with a good price, but the learning curve is so steep.
