When I was starting Rawpido (company I'm bootstrapping) up, I got the stage where I needed to start evaluating tools that I was going to start using for running the business .
I felt overwhelmed with the amount of choices & options that existed. Anyone else?
Lots of them seemed great like intercom, until I saw their prices ($87/month 😱). Without paying full price for these common products, you only get a barebones set of features.
These are the all-in-one tools I'm currently using & love:
- Notability $4/month per user (just me)
- WEBSITE: https://www.notion.so
- wiki/docs/task manager, product roadmap, database (pretty much everything airtable can do), beautiful UI
- cool thing is that pages within notion can be shared like websites so you can create things like a product roadmap or FAQ like this (in the future I'll bake it into my core website though..for getting off the ground initially this is good:
- http://bit.ly/3134aei
- http://bit.ly/2Yun3Fe
- Google ($12/month per user..currently just me)
- typical set of office tools, but I use it for storing large files/assets.
- since I use google services regularly, managing my cell phone plan, domains, YouTube channel, video tutorials etc.
- birdseed Free plan:
- WEBSITE: https://www.birdseed.io/
- customer messaging platform (think Intercom)
- live chat, scheduling office hours calls with users, email capture, capturing user feedback, mini FAQ tool..most of intercom's features!
1.What tools are you currently using?
I'm hoping we get a good amount of people to contribute to this thread, maybe we might help each other spot products and services that we could use to help us consolidate or improve our own businesses.
