Best SaaS tools for Indie Hackers?

I’m thinking of SaaS services with a good return on investment, especially the tools that will save time in marketing/growth - but not limited to that. Anything from content preparation tools, T&C generators, tech tools…

What are the tools that saved you a lot of time and why?

Here are some of mine:

  • Notion - Docs, notes & tasks. It replaces multiple tools I used before saving me time by having everything in one place
  • Postmark - for sending emails, I primarily like their documentation that provides a good guidance on how to ensure your email deliverability is top notch
  • Gitlab - fairly simple to set up automated delivery, even the simplest projects usually have their pipelines
  • PostHog - analytics platform I am thinking of using as it seems to strike a great balance for indie hackers

My list is mostly dev focused, but I would love to see some must have tools for departments.

    I can add my tools, what are used in SEO company, there are

    Slack (team communication)
    Google (sheets, meet)
    Dropbox (best drive)
    Salesforce (CRM)
    Ahrefs (especially for SEO)

    According to time i see more and more SaaS tools in my work.
    And in addition, now working with one development company, visit homepage if interrested, they told that around 80% of orders is only SaaS services. So I think great future service are coming

    In addition:

    • Google Workspace (E-Mail, Docs, Drive, Meet)
    • Pipedrive (CRM)
    • Confluence (Wiki for documentation)
    • Zapier (Simple Automation Workflows)
  3. 1

    Little biased but https://versoly.com/ I see so many devs spend days/weeks building landing pages and marketing sites instead of investing in product or talking with customers.

    I also love

    Figma - Product images
    Trello - todo lists
    Crisp - chat widget
    Sentry - error tracking

    How are you using Posthog? (SaaS or self hosted?)

    1. 1

      Self-hosted for now @volkandkaya.
      It was super straightforward to deploy into my cluster, but I can't figure out the backups just yet, so I might move to SaaS.
