All 26 tools we use at our 2 person startup
At Across, we wanted to see how many other technology companies and service providers we use on a regular basis. The answer was way more than we thought. For a seed stage 2 person startup, we already use 26 different tools regularly totaling $174 / month (we’re on the free plans for many of them). And, this excludes libraries in our product. It’s self-inflicted, but a lot of tools nonetheless.
Check out the full list here!
