Subscription model fatigue: From software to razors, is everything a subscription now?

Posted

More products and services are shifting from one-time purchases to subscription models. How many subscriptions are you currently managing across all categories? Have you reached a breaking point with any subscription category? Do you have strategies for keeping track of and managing multiple subscriptions?

I am probably having 5-7 subscriptions, not counting streaming services and software. To be honest, it is becoming too much. I have been reviewing to determine whether any one of them is giving value or not.

I’m currently spending too much on subscription. I’m reducing them to keep things simple and save some cash.

I have around 6 or 7 different subscriptions to streaming platforms but I'm also subscribed to other things like hosting and Retro Game Treasure. I think it sucks a lot of companies are going the subscription route for things like photo editing software like Adobe. I would rather pay a one time fee and be able to pay a renewal fee in a year to keep getting updates. Streaming services are different since they offer original shows on top of popular shows so in a way it's sort of worth it.

I currently manage several subscriptions, including streaming, apps, and services, which can get overwhelming. I try to track them with a list or app reminders, but I sometimes feel overwhelmed.
