|

|

For PikaPods, I have a couple web apps deployed using their managed services:
|
||||
- [Actual](https://actualbudget.org/) for personal budgeting using the envelop method.
|
||||
- [CommaFeed](https://github.com/Athou/commafeed/) for reading RSS feeds.
|
||||
- [Gitea](https://gitea.com/) for my personal project repositories.
|
||||
- [Umami](https://umami.is/) for website analytics.
|
||||
|
||||
For video streaming, I rotate through a number of services and only subscribe for a month at a time to watch what I want. In some months, I don't have an active subscription running, so this number is a little inflated.
|
||||
|
||||
For gaming subscriptions, similar to above idea.
|
||||
|
||||
Overall, I am quite happy with how much I am spending on my online subscriptions. It could be better, but I am satisfied that it is below $100 CAD per month.
