Just curious. Here are the services for which I’ve written checks in the past month:
There are a kajillion other free services I use but I’m interested in hearing which ones people find valuable enough to purchase.
My hustles
I’m hooked on Basecamp and Blinksale. I think that’s it as far as subscription based softwares though.

I don’t think I pay for anything else (other than hosting accounts, of course).
# Flickr (yearly right)
# AuthorizeNet
# LinkPoint
# Quickbooks Assisted Payroll
# Adwords
# StumbleUpon
# Basecamp
# AT&T
# Vonage (They have my # hostage)
# Packet8.net (Sick virtual PBX)
yea i’m assuming hosting is a given for everyone.
I forgot these services:
# Feedburner premium
# iStockphoto
# Surveymonkey
# Amazon S3
maybe i should alter the question to be “which services are you COMPLETELY HAPPY PAYING FOR?”
Blinksale, Xero Accounting, Skype
Flickr is worth every penny in my opinion!
i’d tell you, but you’d think less of me :P
– Amazon S3
– Flickr
– Easynews
– Paypal (Old Verisign/Cybercash payment gateway)
– lemonparty.org
# Quickbooks Online
# Skype
# Basecamp
# HighriseHQ
# AuthNet
# iStock/Veer/Getty
I think that’s it really – I’m an open-source/free junkie and tend to find/use those.
Extra tidbits…
Isn’t Feedburner Premium free now since Google bought that?
M$Money? bleh -> Mint.com
Josh you pay for both linkpoint api and auth.net? *scratches head*
GrandCentral any1? lol
Flickr and LiveJournal. LJ I could do without, but I love Flickr.
# Freshbooks
# Unfuddled – I only have a VPS and running VMWare on top of a Virtuoso machine seems like a very bad idea. Otherwise I would have done a JumpBox.
