Spotify

Any song. One tap away.

Jannik SiebertSoftware Architect @mohemian · Written 6d ago

I would recommend Spotify, simply because of the amazing 'Discover Weekly' feature! 🎵

Jakub RogalskiCommunity Manager at Brand24 · Written 3d ago

Spotify 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 sol… See more

Spotify 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.

Netflix

Kunal BhatiaCo-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp · Written 6d ago

Netflix 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 KingerCorporate Marketing Associate, Freshdesk · Written 6d ago

The only reason to go back to cable TV is for news and sports. For everything else, there's Netflix. :)

Serdaiamserda · Written 6d ago

Netflix is solid. Hulu has some good shows too, but I am not a fan of their pricing model. Paying to be interrupted by ads is not the way to go at the moment.

Github

Build software better, together.

Kunal BhatiaCo-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp · Written 6d ago

Github 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!

Jun WooCEO & Co-founder of tyle.io · Written 5d ago

The subscription model business must be a service that has the strong needs to the customer.

YouTube Red

Google's new ad-free, premium subscription video service

Willie MorrisFormerly Amazon, Boeing, and Faithbox · Written 6d ago

I 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 · Written 6d ago

My 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.

Evernote

Note taking gets even simpler

Jed BickfordDirector of Product Dev @ emyth.com · Written 6d ago

The search engine for my life ... from journaling to bookmarks to product design, this is my adjunct brain.

Francesco D'AlessioYouTuber/Blogger · Written 3d ago

Agree. 100%!

Dribbble

Show and tell for designers (web interface inspiration)

Tim LichtenbergLead Designer at Bannerwise · Written 6d ago

For all the pro benefits Dribbble has to offer! 😊

Amazon Prime Video

Tejas KingerCorporate Marketing Associate, Freshdesk · Written 6d ago

Quite 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)

Blinkist

Key insights from 2,000+ bestselling nonfiction books

Ayush Mittalbro @boombro, Founder RefR ✌ · Written 6d ago

Key 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.

Google Play Music

Willie MorrisFormerly Amazon, Boeing, and Faithbox · Written 6d ago

I'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 Lewis🤔 · Written 5d ago

I 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.

Robinhood for iOS

$0 commission stock brokerage

Pavan SethiProduct @ Stealth 🤐 · Written 5d ago

Definitely 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.

Apple Music

All the ways you love music. All in one place.

Prasanna PeguLearning to build smart things. · Written 5d ago

Being 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 SpoorCreator at Uitgeverij Spoor · Written 5d ago

Spotify, but then it's light. Also, imo, the UI is much nicer than any alternative out there. Force touch everywhere <3

Kindle Unlimited

All-you-can-read ebooks for $9.99 a month

Tejas KingerCorporate Marketing Associate, Freshdesk · Written 6d ago

Another 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.

Bespoke Post

Themed boxes to upgrade your day-to-day

Vinh Pham🤤 · Written 6d ago

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.

Deezer (US pre-launch)

Best music recommendations. I use it 4 years

If you play guitar, you can't beat TrueFire. Access to 25,000+ online guitar lessons from some of the best educators in the world for less than $17/mo.

Mubi

Hand curated of great films for just $4.99 a month

David RogersonProduct Owner of E-lucid · Written 4d ago

Well 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...
