Is the reMarkable 2 Worth It in 2026? (A $449 Notepad That Does Less Than a $5 One)

Yes, but only if you're a specific type of person who writes a lot and needs zero distractions. Everyone else will use it for two weeks and shelf it.

Is Threads Worth It in 2026? (Meta's Twitter Killer Is Still Missing the Point)

Maybe — Threads has the users but zero personality. It's Instagram's text version, not Twitter's successor.

Is Duolingo Max Worth It in 2026? ($30/Month For AI Tutoring That Might Actually Work)

Depends — Duolingo Max's AI conversation practice is impressively good, but $30/month is steep when free Duolingo already teaches vocabulary and grammar effectively.

Is Temu Worth It in 2026? (Dirt-Cheap Everything, But At What Cost?)

Depends — you'll save money on disposable items you don't really need. Temu is worth it for specific low-stakes purchases, but the quality gamble and ethical concerns are real.

Is Galaxy Watch Ultra Worth It in 2026? (Samsung's $650 Answer to Apple Watch Ultra)

Depends — it's the best Android smartwatch ever made, but $650 for a watch is only justified if you're training seriously. Casual fitness users should buy the Watch 7 instead.

Is Alexa Plus Worth It in 2026? ($20/Month AI For People Who Talk To Their Speakers)

Depends — useful if you're deep in Amazon's ecosystem, pointless if you're not. Alexa Plus is more capable than old Alexa, but so is every other AI assistant at the same price.

Is Uber One Worth It in 2026? ($10/Month Membership For People Who Hate Walking)

Depends — break even at 4 rides monthly. Most members pay for convenience, not savings. Uber One is worth it if you use Uber weekly, but don't pretend it's saving money.

Is Apple TV+ Worth It in 2026? (The Streaming Service With 4 Shows Worth Watching)

Apple TV+ is $12.99/month for a thin but genuinely elite catalog. Severance alone justifies a month. But $156/year for 4 annual shows is mathematically uncomfortable.

Is Windsurf Worth It in 2026? ($15/Month AI Code Editor vs. Cursor)

Windsurf Pro costs $15/month and 500 prompt credits. Cascade is genuinely different from Cursor. But the credit wall hits at the worst possible time.

Is Zoom Pro Worth It in 2026? ($16/Month to Remove a 40-Minute Limit You Didn't Ask For

Zoom's 40-minute cap exists to sell you Pro. If you host calls that regularly run long, pay it. If you're mostly a guest or already use Google Meet, keep your $192/year.

Is Setapp Worth It in 2026? ($10/Month to Rent 250 Apps You'll Use 4 Of)

You're renting 250 apps to use 4 of them. Whether that's genius or insanity depends on which 4 apps you'd buy otherwise. We did the subscription math.
