More than I would readily admit. A VPN, some professional development services (primarily chatGPT), a resource library. Arguably some of the other tools I use too, but they aren’t pure SaaS - you mostly just have to pay if you want major updates which are unnecessarily frequent. (I typically chose not to.) I’ve also been the person in charge of deciding services to use for businesses, so in that regard you could tack on CRM PM services. Currently I am enjoying my burnout-phase and not being responsible for such decisions anymore (but still not finding enough time for proper sleep…).
No games, no streaming, as few business needs as I can manage. I’m willing to subscribe to SaaS, but mostly only where other payment models are honestly non-viable for competitors.
I don’t like the idea of committing payment when I don’t know whether I’ll like the next update more than the current one; or even if it is better, that it will be worth the price tag.
SaaS at its best pays for maintenance and development and I’m willing to go that route if it’s truly valuable to me and the service maintains and develops effectively. I’m hesitant to encourage its adoption where it doesn’t make sense so I do avoid SaaS as a primary factor in my decision process - if someone is doing it right without SaaS, I would rather chose that option.
Altogether, it’s probably less than the standard cable TV package. But I’m not entirely sure because I’m not willing to subscribe to one of those, either!
