Ask HN: What are your favorite examples of great SAAS products?
I'm looking for some inspiration and ideas. What are some SAAS products that you use very often, or that are just awesome and really well done?
Ideally bootstrapped, and made by 1-3 people, but not necessarily.
- patio11 10y agoDrip (getdrip.com) is really phenomenal in terms of amount of functionality and polish for a small bootstrapped team. Ditto Postmark (an entirely different part of the email problem space, incidentally!) ChurnBuster and Stunning have a stupidly high amount of business leverage to lines of code required to operate the business, and are among the best SaaS-for-SaaS you'll find out there. Visual Website Optimizer (VWO) might be the most impressive SaaS shipped by a bootstrapped solo (originally) entrepreneur that I'm immediately aware of. The current version is also pretty well done, especially compared to the general level that marketing-oriented software operates at. Products which are just great products: MailChimp, TaxAct, Honeybadger, Dead Man's Snitch (does one thing well), etc. I collect SaaS like some kids collect baseball cards so I could go on for a while, and don't mean to slight the two dozen or so other ones I'm passing up here. Tried to skew towards more niche things that many HNers wouldn't have used before; I mean, you already know Gmail and Basecamp are great.
