Ask HN: Do you pay for any SaaS's? what would it take for you to switch?

I pay for lots—some for personal, some for business.

For me to switch usually I need to be forced, there needs to be a killer feature, or there needs to be a combination of less important factors AND a total lack of friction to switch.

This. There are a few that I'm dissatisfied with and itching to replace. Everything else... I'm too busy. If the current solution isn't generating enormous amounts of friction, I've got much better things to do with my time than try out SAAS alternatives for the hell of it - even for something that doesn't have data lock-in.

What are the few you're itching to replace?

The big one right now is Evernote. But I'm not happy with the alternatives.

I agree with that one, and the quality of the alternatives, too. The problems I have with Evernote are subtle but they act like speed bumps on a highway, sometimes.
