Anywhere else working or is family the only option now?

I’m still using Sharingful, £4.60 currently with a full family, and I don’t have to be worried about being kicked out of another country. I’ve been using them for close to a year now, and it’s been great.

Is Sharingful reliable? Just took a look and there is a waiting list for both spotify and YT premium

It's the same as sharing with friends but there's just a platform for it.

The biggest drawback is if you have more 'intergrated' Google account. Most of the stuff in my house is now Google smart home stuff, so I can't really share that account or let anyone unknown join. It just creates headaches having to swap accounts and having some of it not linked up.

That's true, same reason why I wouldn't like to share an Apple Account on there due to the high integration. While I use Google for pretty much everything, I don't use it for smart devices; all that for me is done with Apple HomeKit mainly, so joining another family has been fine otherwise. No issues with YT, Maps, Gmail, Google Photos, Drive or Google Calendar, thankfully, all that remains private, and I can't see anyone else's.

Looking at when I started paying, and it's been 10 months, and so far it's been great. I joined an existing family, and Sharingful just bills my bank account automatically each month for £4.60. Families do seem to fill up quickly, though you could always make your own and hope others join in quickly to split the payments.

Honestly I'm considering moving away from Google because it's become pretty ****. The devices are much worse than they were when I got them.

All my actual devices are zigbee or TUYA so can integrate into whatever services. I could easily see myself changing to Alexa or similar in the next year or two. Might calculate the cost savings from sharing subscriptions to offset the new device costs!
