What are the tools you used to build your SAAS?

Founders of SAAS, what are the different tools that you are integrating with your product to make your life easier? It can be anything like a server, analytics service email marketing tools, G Suite etc.

I am looking for a general list of services that one might need to build their own SAAS app.

    I will just scratch the surface and recommend two tools we integrate in most SaaS we build: Stripe + Chargebee

  2. 1

    I'm just starting out with my product, but I have to recommend a few products:

    • Google Domains ($1/month) for a Domain (mine is https://www.algorhythm.dev).
    • G suite ($6/month) for a personalized email (takashi@algorhythm.dev).
    • Trello (free) for Kanban style tickets and boards.
    • Netlify (free) for hosting my static site. Netlify offers a build pipeline with generous limits for free, authentication, form integration, and great github and webhooks support.
    • LogRocket (free) for analytics, and crash reporting
    • Discord/Slack (free) as a centralized place to receive notifications. I set up netlify and logrocket webhooks to send notifications on netlify builds and logrocket error reports, so I can see if anything happens in production.

    I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else posts!

    I use my own service https://howuku.com to do most analytics on my visitors and users for

    • onsite feedback, polling, and NPS
    • landing page A/B testing
    • heat map and user session recording
    • user behaviour trend & analysis
    • inbound and conversion funnel analysis

    And of course other services such as...
    https://mailerlite for newsletter and promotion
    https://helpscout.com for knowledge base integration
    https://wordpress.com for blogging platform
    https://stripe.com for online payment
