[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.

Google Photos.

I pay $15 a month for unlimited storage.

Photos of my family are of the most important things to me so I'm paying out for guaranteed redundancy.

I still host a local photo storage version but I also backup everything to Google Photos.

I do as well. Google Photos + Backup to Synology via Photos.
