What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A curated awesome-list of free or free-tier tools (apps, SaaS services, and downloadable software) that startups and indie hackers should use, covering hosting, development, design, marketing, sales, CRM, accounting, and productivity. It is maintained as a markdown repository with strict editorial standards for accepted entries.

Use cases

  • find free tools for my startup
  • discover free-tier SaaS services for indie hackers
  • curated list of free developer and hosting tools
  • what free tools should a new startup use
  • free alternatives for CRM, email, and design tools
  • find free cloud hosting and static site hosting options

When to choose

  • you are a startup founder or indie hacker on a budget looking for vetted free tools
  • you want a single curated directory spanning hosting, dev tools, marketing, and business software
  • you only want tools with a permanent free plan rather than trials

When to avoid

  • you need in-depth reviews, benchmarks, or comparisons rather than a link list
  • you need recently launched or niche tools, since new tools are generally excluded
  • you need a software library or code, not a directory of external services
