So far, I’m only using cost-free alternatives:
Gmail -> web.de
Android/Google Play -> LineageOS/FDroid
Google Search -> DDG/Qwant/Ecosia
Google Maps -> Openstreetmap/Organic Maps
Windows/Office -> Linux/LibreOffice
Netflix -> 🏴‍☠️streaming sites
Spotify -> internet radio/digitizing CDs bought directly from the band at concerts

The only service I haven’t replaced is YouTube (AdBlocked without account), which I use a lot, also for music. And I don’t see an alternative for it either.

    its not quite the same but as a YT-alt i use Nebula. It’s owned by some of my favourite creators and pretty cheap considering what you get. (~36$/y)

    instead of iCloud/GDrive i use pCloud - which is a one-time payment-which i prefer instead of a recurring subscription (otp/400$)

    and technically i am paying for ‘streaming-services’ by having a VPN. (~3$/m)

    if you listen to a lot of radio/music you should give radio.garden a try!

    it not much, but it is a start.
