So far, I'm only using cost-free alternatives:
Gmail -> web.de
Android/Google Play -> LineageOS/FDroid
Google Search -> DDG/Qwant/Ecosia
Google Maps -> Openstreetmap/Organic Maps
Windows/Office -> Linux/LibreOffice
Netflix -> 🏴‍☠️streaming sites
Spotify -> internet radio/digitizing CDs bought directly from the band at concerts

The only service I haven't replaced is YouTube (AdBlocked without account), which I use a lot, also for music. And I don't see an alternative for it either.

I'm in the process. Right now about $13 a month for a VPS which hosts email, video / audio / text chat, nextcloud, gps tracking, and others.

I need to do something about my android phone, and I'm looking at that too. I have a phone running ubports, but I'm scared to daily it just right now.
