Cloudflare offers a lot of services, including domain registration and DNS hosting.

It's a free trial; you haven't paid for any period of time.

I have "Apple One", and under the "Cancel All Services" button, it says if I cancel now, they will remain active until the end of the current subscription period.

"Cancel Free Trial" - I'm sure they would happily refund $0.

After the pricing change, I believe it's still free (or negligible) for low email traffic.

5,000 emails per month are still free, at $0.07 per 1,000 after that.

SES is pretty solid and easy to work with. Free for small email volumes like your use case.

You need to verify your domain and request production access explaining your use-case. If you're only sending to known recipients, you can just verify them and not worry about the "production access".

If you're a bit on the techy side, take a look at plain text accounting.

I'm not overly familiar with how things work financially in the U.S. for day-to-day things, but here in Australia, I run everything through my debit card, so at the end of the month, I import all my transactions into Hledger, allocate them to their appropriate expenditure account (i.e., food, gas, utilities, dining out, etc.) and then I can run a report on where my money has gone. I've been doing it over the past 2 years and it gives some really good insight.

Although it's retrospective, it helps me understand what I'm spending my money on and can help forecast and budget.

Noodles + butter, what else do you need?

I don’t pay anything for Cloudflare. Tunnels and a good amount of protection is available on their free tier. Hopefully it stays that way.

💯 the Zero Trust platform is amazing. Cloudflare tunnels + access is my go-to for exposing services.

I use Cloudflare as my ingress point. They have a lot of features to provide security against a wide variety of attacks.
