- Jannik SiebertSoftware Architect @mohemian · WrittenI would recommend Spotify, simply because of the amazing 'Discover Weekly' feature! 🎵Jakub Rogalski35Community Manager at Brand24 · WrittenSpotify and Netflix are no-brainers here. From a professional standpoint, I also use quite a few subscription-based services like: - https://coschedule.com/ as a scheduling tool and content calendar - https://semrush.com/ for keyword analytics - https://unbounce.com/ for building landing pages - https://www.intercom.com/ for external communication We eat our own, subscription-based food at https://brand24.com when it comes to monitoring brand or keyword mentions as well as industry-related news. We also use it for social media lead generation whenever there are people online talking about their products we could solve.Kunal Bhatia50Co-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp · WrittenSpotify is one of the first subscription services I've paid for and continues to be my most used. I've listened to more music on Spotify than any other service, and even convinced my family to join me. I switched from an individual to a family plan as soon as Spotify announced it.
- Kunal Bhatia50Co-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp · WrittenNetflix is my go-to movie and TV show streaming service. I should just cancel my cable service at this point, but then I'd need to figure out how to watch live sports every now and then.Tejas Kinger20SaaS Product Marketing @ Freshworks Inc · WrittenThe only reason to go back to cable TV is for news and sports. For everything else, there's Netflix. :)
- Kunal Bhatia50Co-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp · WrittenGithub is one subscription service that definitely makes a lot of the others possible. Many teams, including ours, use private Github repos to build our software platforms. I think Github would fall into the category of Most Overlooked subscription services!
- Prasanna PeguLearning to learn. · WrittenBeing an avid music listener, Apple Music is a must have for me. And the seamless sync between all my devices is a plus. On a side note, you can even upload your own music collections to the iCloud Music Library and sync it across. (Haven't tried Spotify as it legally isn't available here in India right now, so can't compare 🤷♂️)Alexander SpoorFounder of Uitgeverij Spoor · WrittenSpotify, but then it's light. Also, imo, the UI is much nicer than any alternative out there. Force touch everywhere <3Arun Sathiya4Happiness Engineer, Automattic · WrittenApple Music is an absolute steal! Great collection of music and great pricing.
- Tejas Kinger20SaaS Product Marketing @ Freshworks Inc · WrittenQuite like my previous recommendation of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video is yet another great go-to place for curated video content. Two areas where it scores over Netflix - Price and the Download feature. (I understand Netflix has this too, but only for mobiles and tablets. I prefer downloads on PC)
- Jed BickfordDirector of Product Dev @ emyth.com · WrittenThe search engine for my life ... from journaling to bookmarks to product design, this is my adjunct brain.KristensRawKristen Suzanne's Blog · WrittenLove this for journaling, recording notes from books I've read and favorite recipes so I have them with me all the time.

Absolutely love Evernote. Use it for work and personal use and that is easy with the ability to make notebooks. Tags are super helpful as is annotating a document or editing a picture with Skitch. Makes my life easier and more organized!

- Willie Morris3Formerly Amazon, Boeing, and Faithbox · WrittenI really enjoy the ad-free YouTube experience and being able to download videos to take on the subway. I always fall asleep during SNL, so I just watch it ad-free the next day :)Joseph WoodSocial Media Coordinator · WrittenMy wife and I watch a ton of shows on YouTube including some people with cystic fibrosis (our son has CF). This was a no brainer. We don't have cable and can justify this based on the amount of time we spend in YouTube. Plus it comes with Google Music which I don't use, but it's nice to know it's there. Audio in the background on iOS and ability to save videos offline is killer.
- Ayush Mittal27bro @boombro, Founder RefR ✌ · WrittenKey insights from 2,000+ bestselling nonfiction books - it's not a replacement for books but it’s hard to find the time to sit down and read a book all the way through. Helps me to divide that idle time that would otherwise just go to Facebook/Twitter.

This has quickly become one of my most frequently used apps. It also just feels a lot healthier to read these than Facebook posts or 'same story different day' news articles.

I wrote a full review of Blinkist on my blog, here: http://www.daveenjoys.com/blinkist-staying-current-break-neck-world/
- Willie Morris3Formerly Amazon, Boeing, and Faithbox · WrittenI've come to really enjoy Google Play Music after using GrooveShark -> Rdio -> Spotify. The thing that pulled me away from Spotify was the free YouTube Red subscription.Gabriel Lewis3🤔 · WrittenI would recommend trying the free version of Google Play Music. If you like the interface, definitely go for it. The fact that it includes Youtube Red (no ads on Youtube) is amazing. One of my favorite features is the stations based on mood, location, or time of day. For example after using the product for a while, it'll know when you are at work and what you like to listen to at work.
- Pavan Sethi19building things. · WrittenDefinitely agree with some of those above but thought I'd throw this in - Robinhood Gold has tiers of $6, $10, $14, $15/month that give you extended trading hours, instant access to funds, and extra buying power. Without a doubt the easiest and simplest way to trade stocks.

- Tejas Kinger20SaaS Product Marketing @ Freshworks Inc · WrittenAnother great utility from Amazon for Kindle owners. I consider myself to be a voracious reader and find the Kindle Unlimited subscription to be a boon. Great from the point of view of savings as well as finding great light reads for on-the-go reading.
- I don't recall how I discovered Bespoke Post, maybe it was through a post on BoingBoing, but I've been a subscriber for nearly the last 3 years. Every month, they deliver a small array of products curated around a theme. Even better, if you don't care for the theme then you can switch to another one or simply opt out for the month. The packages are reasonably priced, and I've discovered a lot of cool new gadgets and gizmos through this service.
- Alexander TvarCo-founder & C3PO | Insense · WrittenBest music recommendations. I use it 4 years
- David RogersonProduct Owner of E-lucid · WrittenWell curated, pretty cheap, amazing films. I also quite like the fact the films are time limited. Forces me to be more proactive in watching stuff. I most recently watched this, which normally would've passed me by; https://mubi.com/showing/homo-sa...
- Francesco D'AlessioProductivity App Reviewer · WrittenWell-crafted personal to-do list application with so many advanced functions. This is my go-to productivity application and something I always recommend to those looking for a really functional way to get things done!

We were looking for a tool to replace Asana, and after initially testing Todoist, became certain it could be the tool for us. But sharing projects is a PITA. There's no easy way to let your team have access to all newly created projects. Also, the projects structure isn't shared, so sharing a new subproject causes havoc in the teammate's projects structure, and the teammate needs to manually configure the projects structure according to it's intended layout.
