Hello everyone,
Ideas and side-projects are great, but not all it needs to be successful. Validating & execution is key, we got this. Yet, I think nothing would come in as handy as knowing what services (online services) people actually pay for. So was wondering, if you are happy to share which services you are actually paying for (or paid for in the past)?
For me, it's these services:
That's it - surprisingly low number in general and only one SaaS service. I guess I'm not representative though - I've got work-arounds for many things others might pay for. How does it look for you?
This is a cross post of my post on Makerlog (https://getmakerlog.com/discussions/spekulatius-what-services-you-pay-for). Just FYI.
Hey Peter, this might be useful to you: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/ask-ih-developers-what-apps-are-you-paying-for-currently-a5aaddb1f3
Ah, thanks for sharing. I actually haven't seen this one before. Quite different to my list - more services
Hey Peter, it sounds like you've been thinking along the same lines as I have. I wrote recently about how many people are building things that don't match up with what people are paying for:

Let me know what you think.
My payment list:
Mine from the last couple of years
Probably this list is going to be bigger soon because I have a lot of free stuff as student and it's my last year. Mostly by GitHub student pack.
Looks fairly similar actually. Thanks for sharing!
I'm using Mailgun too - but it's still in the free quota for me :) Thanks for sharing!
They have removed their free plan. We were also in the free plan and we moved to 35 dollar plan
Yeah, I remember the email but didn't really look into it. Probably should lol
Yes you should :) March 31st is the deadline to move I guess
Ah, okay. Where did you go?
we started paying for the service.
ah okay. I don't think it will cost a lot as I'm barely sending any emails...
on free tier myself too, but had to move to pay service, which it's still cheap (for my purposes)
I pay for or would pay for (being now on free plan):
They sure are others that I would pay for if needed. Also some personal things like Netflix (but I am also very quick on cutting up this kind of costs).
I posted this for you 😍
Awesome, thank you! Let's see what people are responding :)

Same here - I hire a designer for minor things occasionally. Also a English proof-reader as I'm not a native speaker and don't want to make an idiot of myself when publishing content.
