I started this a long time ago but it quickly grew too tedious and unwieldy for me to complete. I'd like to open it for editing so anyone can include their own tool or fill in details, but I'm afraid it might become overwhelmed by bad info or completely messed up. So if you would like to contribute or add your own info, please shoot me an email and I'll add you to the edit list.<p>djclljx [at] gmail<p>Hopefully it proves useful to someone!

I have created a form to allow people to submit new tools. (Should have thought of this much sooner!)<p><a href="https://docs.google.com/a/2helixtech.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dExDMXAtUmhrNnQwUXRjZHh1QVhzRHc6MQ" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/a/2helixtech.com/spreadsheet/viewfor...</a><p>I'm not sure how well GDocs forms work with multiple submissions though.<p>If you would like to help maintain this, I'll still grant access - just email me.

I usually find spreadsheets harder to compare when it gets bigger (similar to the comparison table on wikipedia). I have added the first few sub-lists on Romku:<p><a href="http://www.romku.com/list/343885/communication-phone-mail-startups" rel="nofollow">http://www.romku.com/list/343885/communication-phone-mail-st...</a><p><a href="http://www.romku.com/list/343886/bug-tracking-issue-management-startups" rel="nofollow">http://www.romku.com/list/343886/bug-tracking-issue-manageme...</a><p><a href="http://www.romku.com/list/343887/collaboration-filesharing-startups" rel="nofollow">http://www.romku.com/list/343887/collaboration-filesharing-s...</a><p><a href="http://www.romku.com/list/343889/customer-relations-software-startups" rel="nofollow">http://www.romku.com/list/343889/customer-relations-software...</a><p>Please let me know if you find it easier to navigate and I'll create the other ones (you can see the lists of lists here: <a href="http://www.romku.com/lists" rel="nofollow">http://www.romku.com/lists</a>)

One crazy friend of mine developed a website to do exactly that, check it out <a href="http://toolz.me/kirillzubovsky" rel="nofollow">http://toolz.me/kirillzubovsky</a>. They are in public beta, I believe.

Maybe you'd also like to include a PR tools / press release platforms section?<p>A few press release platform suggestions: PRWeb, PR NewsWire, PitchEngine, PressDoc (disclaimer; I'm one of the founders)<p>Media relations: Blogdash, Meltwater Press, MyMediaInfo

This is a great list. Thanks for creating it.<p>There's no mention of PagerDuty in the Alerts / Monitoring section. There's also nothing in the way of DevOps tools a la Puppet / Chef, and metrics tools such as Graphite.

Love it. We're using shopify under ecommerce and I've looked at quite a few others.<p>Shopify - minimum $29 Amazon Web Stores - $24.99 BigCommerce - $24.95<p>I could add more data in a sheet and share it if you want.

Thought I'd share another startup tools list, primarily focused on dev/web/mobile: <a href="http://www.tapdom.com/resources/startup-tools" rel="nofollow">http://www.tapdom.com/resources/startup-tools</a>

Thanks, this list looks awesome!<p>I've been looking for a finance/expense tracking app for a while but haven't found something that fits my requirements. I hope this list helps

Here's a suggestion for the publishing category:<p>eBookBurn (<a href="https://ebookburn.com/" rel="nofollow">https://ebookburn.com/</a>)<p>which is run by my startup.

You can look forward soon to a project code named, Tempus for the time being. It will be a fully featured Time Management &#38; Invoicing software(web app) written by and for Freelancers &#38; Dev Shops alike, with tie-in options for accepting online CC payments and Basecamp - ALL at an affordable price. Even a client-count limited FREE version. I've been contemplating a blog of the design, and development process and posting to HN, but didn't know if that might be too boring even for all us nerds. My competion would be companies like Cashboard and FreshBooks. Let me know what you think!

Any thoughts on finances? For a startup full of software focused engineers, I'd like to get taxes sorted out and managed. Any thoughts/insight on this?

Wow, great list thanks! For CRM you can also add Nimble, they integrate with google app, linkedin and facebook. If you use google apps its really good.

Hmmm, no HipChat (<a href="http://hipchat.com" rel="nofollow">http://hipchat.com</a>)?<p>Great list, thanks for compiling it.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Teamlab: <a href="http://www.teamlab.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.teamlab.com/</a>

I think it would be useful to add a column to specify if the hosted services provides an API and if it is REST-ful.
cannukover 13 years ago
That is a hell of a list. I found some categories of items on there that I did not even know I needed!

I found 2 mistakes in Basecamp. There is a free plan and the cheapest one is $24/mo.
