Hi HNI started this crowdsourced list to find small internet products made by solo developers (or tiny teams) that can be used as alternatives to BigTech/VC-funded startups.E.g. you can use Tally (by two devs, $14K MRR) instead of Typeform ($190M funding, 600+ employees)or Plausible (by two devs, $83K MRR) instead of Google Analytics.I added a link to a form where you can send me suggestions to alternatives, happy to add to the site!Thanks, Rauno

This would be a list by many buyers, especially in the enterprise, of companies to avoid. If you want to help the indie startup it is probably better to remove their revenue numbers. Most buyers are concerned if the product they invested in will be around in a couple of years.

Nice page! A small suggestion: use section or category names.For example, instead of 'Buffer', the category or section could be called 'Social media tools'. Same for the other sections e.g. 'Analytics', 'Cold email tools', and so on.Also, Zendesk and Freshdesk are both in the same category of help desk software but are listed separated on the page.

Thank's for this! I've been building a list of bootstrappers to follow on Twitter and added a bunch of these folks to said list [0].[0]: <a href="https://twitter.com/i/lists/1553077166270709760" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/i/lists/1553077166270709760</a>

Appreciate the site, but I don’t see the point of including their revenue. On the contrary, lower revenue would make me want to choose the higher revenue option - being able to make money is a sign of competence after all.Team size and age of the startup are better metrics imo.

The one thing that keeps me from using smaller competitors is that I don't have a guarantee they won't shut down. I need to know for sure that whatever I integrate with is going to last longer than I do. Even though there's a lot to dislike about the big players, I can rest easy knowing they will outlast me.

This is a great idea but the list seems incomplete. For example, where are the email marketing tools? Mailchimp / Intuit, Convetkit, SendFox, and so many more. There are many other markets / verticals not covered here.

What’s the rationale to use stuff by a smaller organization?

Are two devs the most popular? I wonder how many Dev/PM Dev/Sales combo exist given that non overlapping skill sets can leverage each other.

Good site and this is a good page to see alternatives. How many new startups do you add to your site monthly?
