[non self hosted] : Cheap Services You Still Pay For (alien.top)

My Bitwarden renewal came through this morning. It's still $10 per year. I was about to cancel, but I thought what the heck at $10, I'll keep it on out of principle and to show support.

I also have a tutanota encrypted email, which costs little more than pocket change over the year. I hardly use it, but it's there.

I wondered then, if this community had any little gems to share - services they pay for that are let's say under $30 annually. I think we can exclude VPS, since lots of people will probably have them already.

I'm going to cross post at /r/opensource too.

I'm paying a cheap VPS for stuff that I want to be 100% available. Like vaultwarden and Authentik for example.

But services, hmm let me see. Does Netflix count as I have plex? Nvm I pay both monthly, did not buy the plex lifetime pass yet. But for Netflix I recently switched my payment to turkey via vpn. Price is less than 1/3rd now.
