Unused OTT Platforms
Do you really need Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and several other OTTs? Are you spending Rs 299 on a platform that you hardly watch? Then you can save as much as Rs 3,588 yearly by discontinuing such a subscription.
Music Streaming Apps
If you listen only to free music and/or use only one streaming service, then try to cut down on other services. This is because an annual fee for the same would be Rs 1,428.
Fitness Apps
A lot of people download health and fitness apps with the best intentions but end up discontinuing them after some weeks. Cancelling your membership of Rs 199 per month can save you Rs 2,388 per year.
Cloud Storage Plans
Do you pay for storage that you don't even need? See whether you are subscribing to Google Drive or any other storage service. Even Rs 130 per month could mean Rs 1,560 per year.
Premium News and Reading Apps
If you signed up to read an article or a book but have not come back ever since, it's about time that you cancel your membership. This is because a Rs 149/month subscription can cost you Rs 1,788 per year.
