Ask HN: What SaaS products do you pay for personally?

Posted by chadkruse on Monday July 15, 2013 @05:55PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Saw this question asked from the perspective of startup SaaS tools, but I'm wondering what subscription-based services folks use personally. I actually thought I spent more than I actually do.

My List

Monthly: Github, Sprint.ly, MindMeister, Evernote, Spotify

Annual: Pandora (still undecided b/w Pandora and Spotify), iTunes Match, Yahoo Email/POP Access (don't judge)

Digital Ocean, Fastmail, Feedbin, Lastpass, Pinboard, Pushover.

Those last 2 were one-off payments. I also subscribe to Netflix and Audible, not sure they count as SaaS.

OP here. I find it interesting that despite paying $80 / yr for past 5(?) yrs, I completely forgot I pay for Amazon Prime (thanks for the reminder!).

Does that mean it's easier to maintain renewals for SaaS offerings if the service includes high levels of premium/add-on/normal purchases?

Dunno, but I'm going to re-read Dan Ariely's Predictably Irrational :)

I don't pay for any SaaS. This isn't any kind of judgment I'm passing, I'm not trying to say "noone should psy for SaaS" or anything like that, just weighing in my own preferences.
