For Setapp, I am kind of forced to pay for it since I use NotePlan and Paste. And I use Timing Tracker sometimes. The first two alone cost the same as a Setapp sub for 4 desktops and 4 iOS devices.

I should try Alt out again with you reminding me.

Alt isn't very exciting. And for Setapp, consider whether buying the software outright isn't better. After all the time paying for Setapp, once you stop, you've little to show for it. It's akin to using Spotify but owning none of it.
