There are many apps/ websites/ platforms that wants us to buy premium membership and actually we can do without that membership too and can easily find alternate websites that don't take any such fee so instead of going for premium we can look at free websites and get our work done. For example- Adobe, Windows etc

[eldavis]

I hardly go on paid membership on any of the sites or apps I use. Most times the free version actually gives me all I need or I usually find my way round it.

[Vehlijanta]

I am unable to find any alternative for Amazon Prime. Can you suggest something about it

[JASPREET]

I have to see but you can look at Flipkart or mynta for similar things and see if you can get free delivery

[SHAHID987]

Usually it has been observed as mostly sites use this scam strategy as they ask money for subscription, once you agreed with them they may only block you, and you think as this site run away but they remain busy in hunt of someone new.

[Vehlijanta]

I am already buying from Flipkart and myntra but there is no website like Amazon

[JASPREET]

I am buying from Flipkart mostly and for amazon I place order of more than 499 to get free delivery so you can also do that

I only subscribe for services that I desperately need. If there is an option for free usage, I stay using it free no matter the allure of paid subscription.

[Jem Smith]

It depends what it is. For example, I use a lot of open source software, but sometimes the things I needed to download for uni didn't work quite right unless you used the right software- like I can use opensource software to read and edit pdfs, but some features on the ones from my tutor weren't visible unless I used Acrobat.

It makes sense to avoid subscriptions if you don't really need them.

[Fidelia]

That's why I prefer Linux over window. Lots of premium open source options that you can even tweak to your preferences.

[JASPREET]

I am thankfully able to find an alternate solution or a way out and these days I am not going to spend a penny on any membership

[Kalayla]

If a paid membership offers more value and you think it would be useful to you, it just makes sense to go for it.

[JASPREET]

Yes, then its fine but if we are able to get almost the same benefit life for example movie streaming apps then its fine as we can find the movie available for free in few days

[Netherrealmer]

Work as a showbiz journey, you get subscription for these services for free. How I know... I work as one. I need subscription so I can get reviews.

[Tendz]

Premium memberships may offer additional features or benefits, it's not always necessary to pay for these extras in order to get the job done. By exploring free options and doing some research, we can often find suitable alternatives that meet our needs without having to spend extra money.

[JASPREET]

From time to time amazon offers Prime for free for 1 month as a trial so you can opt for that whenever available and get free delivery and other offers

[Tendz]

Free trial of Amazon Prime is a good way to experience all the benefits it has to offer without committing to a full membership.

[JASPREET]

I just went for it the last month and was able to place 5-7 orders, got free delivery and cash back too

[Vehlijanta]

But you cannot get this one month free trial Amazon membership every month

[augusta]

Yes I try to avoid paid subscriptions to free up my cash flow and prevent unexpected charges. Subscriptions to me is a never-ending expense, especially when you're no longer getting value from the service. it is better to go for free options to save money
