I don’t pay for web applications. I use a lot of open source stuff and I think it works out all right. I’ve never been very good at using advanced features on anything.

You should check out Intervals, a web app that does time tracking, task management, document sharing, and invoicing, along with a few other things, and starts at $20/month to manage 10 projects. You could ditch two or three apps, save some money, and have everything in one place.

I don’t pay for web applications. I create web applications. My only business related monthly expenses are for my DSL connection and my web site hosting.

I discovered that running "free" open source apps took to much of my "free" time. I pay to use backpack, for example. One of my biggest challenges is separating "business" from "personal" usage for tax purposes. Now I think I need to go back through and do the same calculations - but at least the ones I pay for will stick around (what is the biz model for totally free?). I switched to BudURL for business url tracking BECAUSE they bill! I recently set up a site based on my personal bookmarks on web apps (Vtoolbox) and in doing some of the research found that trying to calculate if "apps by the piece" vs suites are more cost-effective?

$23 a year on your cafepress.com is nothing to sneeze at, especially if you look at those kind of savings across your whole billing. Say you pay $1,252.68 a year for these services and you can save 10% by prepaying from cash (not credit). You'll save $125 a year which can basically pay for your hosting. Personally, I pay $70 a year for my BlueHost account and that's about it. I replaced BaseCamp with a free alternative and now I get more money for coffee and EVE. :)

Only two monthly I pay for are to GoDaddy for hosting $5 pcm and to £23 Freeagent for accounting/finance (I’m based in the UK and they’re tailored to our tax system).

Annual subscriptions are RTM, Flickr, Goosync, and Plaxo.

Otherwise I’m on Ubuntu with open source apps.
