For me, I mainly pay subscriptions for infrastructure, not software per-say, so it’s and OVH VPS that I run a bunch of things on, a mail service running bog-standard (probably Free) mail software on (runbox), and backblaze b2 for my last resort backups (I use Restic to push encrypted incremental backups to it). The last is Bitwarden, which is more of a traditional software subscription - even though I could run their software for free, I’m paying for their hosted reliability in the case I screw up something.
