Ask HN: What software subscriptions do you pay for?
Most of my subscriptions relate to my software consulting business, but I think I would keep some even if I was an FTE at another company.
My subscriptions:
Github*
YouTube Premium*
Adobe CC*
Kinopio.club* -- used for personal brainstorming and to support the developers work
Freshbooks for invoicing
Gusto
Miro creating diagrams and presentations
Google Gsuite or whatever it's called
Slack
* Would keep outside consulting
Then there's stuff that's not strictly speak a subscription: AWS, DO, etc. I have an account with a bunch of infra providers

- navjack27 4y agoJust personally "software" wise: YouTube premium (no ads and I get to support the content creators that I watch every day at a better ratio), Google one ($1), Microsoft 360 (1TB of OneDrive storage and the whole office suite that I use all the time and in my eyes is better than all of the previous versions) I only pay for software if I make money using said software and right now I'm not making any money so I'm not paying for anything if I can help it.
- patrogizmo 4y agoTop Ones: - Github Copilot (pays for itself many times over in the time I save on mundane tasks). - LinkedIn Premium (helps with outreach) - Pandora (only because I still have most of my stations on it) - Evernote - Sketch
- hnthrowaway0328 4y agoPersonally, none. Work-wise there are a lot including Office 365, Jetbrain products, Notion, Zoom, etc.
- cwdegidio 4y agoJetbrains, Notion, and YT Premium. I have a few hobby based subs, like Fantasy Grounds VTT for gaming. But I'm a bit over the subscriptions for everything model. I finally had enough and started canceling things such as my MS360 account. I'm sure more will be cancelled by the end of the year.
