First: Don't spend too much time finding the right tool for you start-up. Just pick one and stay with it for at least a year. There is a good chance that you will need other software in the next phase of your startup. Gaving said that, here are the tools we use at [UptimeMate](https://www.indiehackers.com/product/uptimemate
sendinblue for chat, transactional emails, and marketing emails.
Facebook remarketing - target users that already visited your website, seems to give high conversion rates (would recommend 100%)
Not really using any tools, but I am trying to increase organic search by creating new content, apart from that doing ppc campaigns on Google, Bing and Quora (very low budget though and very very targetted, to increase conversion rates)
