One of yours went up?

  1. Check what you pay now on the service’s account page. Price rises often reach people already paying a month or two later.
  2. Look for a cheaper plan: most services now sell a plan with ads, or a yearly plan for less than 12 months of monthly.
  3. Not worth it any more? Each service has a cancel guide.
