Maybe it's just me, but personally I simply don't use saas services unless I really have to or very much like to use it regularly.
For the business (I run a small consultancy) the story is different though. It pays for several services on a monthly basis somewhere between 50 and 100€ / month, if they provide value.
The business can afford it and if a service helps the business paying for it is just fair.
- lytefm 5y agoI agree, relying on subscriptions privately vs at work is a completely different story. At work, I'll suggest a subscription as soon as it provides value. Privately, I'm extremely picky and always try to get the best bang for the buck, especially for recurring subscription costs. I happily pay for: - Spotify Duo: According to my yearly review, I'm in the top 3% listeners in my country. I basically listen to music all day when coding, exercising, doing chores,... - Gym membership: 15€/month and I use it a lot. Friends of mine pay 60-100€ and use it less. - Hosting: 1€ per year for my domain and 1€ per month for my email. I'm still on the free tier for NextCloud storage. - Phone/Internet: I chose the cheapest plans I could find (14€ for Broadband, 5€ for unlimited calls + 1 GB data)/ month I rarely pay for: - Video Subscription like Netflix/Amazon Prime. If there's anything I really want to watch, I'll get a trial or subscribe for a month and then cancel. There is a lot great free (or: paid by my public-service broadcasting fees) stuff to watch on the web. - Private SaaS stuff: Some tools like Obsidian sound intruiging, but so far I'm getting by well enough and prefer using OSS tools where I'd only send a donation once in a while instead of paying a recurrent fee.
