What services or products would you describe as perfect for your needs?
The first was Arbitrage Calculator [1]. Its. A tool I used for sports betting Arbitrage to compute the arbitrage conditions & payouts.
The second is Obsidian [2] This has completely replaced Google Keep as my notes taking app.
The third has been Lithium [3]. I currently do 90% of my book reading in this app. The ergonomics of epub copies is just perfect and this is a perfect epub reader.
Fourth is Scrivener. [4] Planning to write by first book with this. It's just perfect.
Last is Button Down [5] This allowed me to add a subscription page on my statically hosted blog. And the minimalistic nature of the service made it perfect.

If you're in a team with this kind of semi-automated semi-manual regression testing workflow for changes, where there's human-in-loop engineering effort to review regression tests that indicate 'there's some difference between actual output and expected output' and decide if the new output is "OK" or not, the cost of a beyond compare license likely pays for itself in less than a month in terms of freeing up hours of engineering effort.
That said, you can often do better than this by investing engineering effort to build a custom domain-specific file normalizer / differ tool, to e.g. deserialize values, normalize them to eliminate irrelevant details, compare them for equivalence in a domain specific way, show actionable diffs when they differ, which might give a much better result than a high quality general-purpose tool beyond compare.
e.g. in the CLI you might do something like `git diff commit_a commit_b -- some/path/in/repo` to show the diff from commit_a to commit_b limited to some path
Refer to the "configuration" sections for
these git documentation pages mention meld (along with many other diff tools).[1]: https://flameshot.org/
ncdu - disk usage stats
fzf - fuzzy finding for everything in your shell
helix - tui editor, basically a mix of (neo)vi(m) and kakoune, with batteries included i.e. LSP support, written in rust, and you don't need to configure much
zfs - not really software, but a filesystem
jellyfin - self hostable media server, i.e. streaming movies and music, which automatically fetches metadata for your movies and music

(Disclaimer: I've developed it to solve my problem but it seems that there are many people having the same problem...)

But I think it should work if you can install it from the Playstore.
