Right? Also one "hack" I use quite a bit is to subscribe for when I need a tool and then unsubscribe when I don't. I use privacy.com to create virtual credit cards that can only be charged once, or a certain amount, or for a certain period of time.

Of course you'll need to backup your data, but honestly that's good practice anyway. I just search Google to ensure the service makes it easy to unsubscribe and easy to export your data.

Many projects have phases where you use certain tools extensively—no sense in continuing to pay for say an online video editor on the months you aren't, well, editing any video.
