I'm in the same boat. I lost the free plan because we had to print a lot more during homeschooling that made sense to go up a couple of tiers for a month. Been on the £0.99 tier since. Didn't mind it because we do still use it occasionally and one time the nozzels on cart dried up and it got replaced at HP's expense.

So I don't hate instant ink, but only at it's current price. If it gets jacked up I'll probably just buy ordinary carts and take my chances on it clogging again. I can still nip into the office if I need a one off print, this one is just convenient.
