Ask HN: What software and services do you pay for personally?

[lonewolf_ninja]

What are some of the software products and services that you pay for with your own money? These could include domain name, hosting, music/video subscriptions, images, file hosting etc. Please list the product and not the category (Netflix, Spotify and not music/video service).

JetBrains toolbox, play music, netflix, amazon prime, lastpass, packtpub, domains (namecheap, google and gandi), hosting (Digital Ocean, Linode, Vultr, online.net and ovh.ie), amazon glacier, audible, myfitnesspal, ancestry.com. I think that covers it. You should be able to build nice marketing profile for me now.

Interesting list.

Do you use the hosting providers for personal projects? Why the need to have different providers?

I use the free version of MyFitnessPal and it seems to satisfy my needs for tracking macros and calories. Is there an additional benefit to using the paid version?

I replaced dropbox with Microsoft OneDrive when I received a ton of free space as part of a promotion.
