Let me be straight with you. I was paying over $80 a month just for AI tools. ChatGPT Plus. Canva Pro. Notion AI. Grammarly Premium. Every single month. Like clockwork. Then one day I actually added it all up - and I felt sick. The Wake-Up Moment I was not using all these tools every single day. Some months I barely touched Notion AI. Some weeks I did not open Canva once. But the charges kept coming. That is when I decided to find a smarter way. What I Do Now I use a subscription marketplace. It is exactly what it sounds like.
