What are the strikethroughs for? My assumption is thing you aren't paying for anymore, but wanted to double check since not all have replacements.

The strikethroughs are for services I once used, but have since cancelled because I either moved to another service or no longer needed that service anymore. Early on, I paid for Code Climate, but realized it was an expensive non-necessity at the time. For services like Mailchimp, I moved my newsletter to Intercom once the spiked cost of Mailchimp didn't make sense to keep.
How about Baremetrics? What did you replace it with or was it not necessary?
The decision to cancel Baremetrics is a long story, but the main reason is that I don't agree with a few tactics they've used to improve MRR, like removing the ability for users to cancel their account on their own (you now need to email them). I'd rather make a little less in order to improve the user experience and build a better relationship with users. I use ChartMogul now, which I really enjoy using.
There is also https://sendy.co/ which uses Amazon SES. It's a lot cheaper than mailchimp.
I would also be curious on the rational of why you stopped using those services.
