[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.

Bitwarden is weird because it’s a service I could easily self host but I really don’t mind paying for because it’s pretty critical that it experiences maximum uptime and tinkering and I trust their data center. I also like supporting the company and I appreciate that the product just works.

    I hate to say it, but "this".

    It works fantastically, it's not expensive, it's one of the more critical services in my stack, and I get to support the company.

    No brainer.

    I took the time to teach my kids how to use a password manager with Bitwarden on my self hosted instance. But my wife asked me what's going to happen if I die. I'm confident in minimal downtime while I'm alive, but it's important that my family's passwords can outlive me. So I wound up purchasing the family plan.
