The cost of SaaS apps can really start to add up. What's interesting is that there's a very similar "stack" that almost all SaaS apps need to buy from other SaaS apps, and many of them don't have a free alternative. There exists a whole class of apps/services that could gain a lot of traction by providing a freemium model. By becoming one of the best solutions AND having a free version (for limited use), I think you have a better shot of becoming part of a new bootstrapped SaaS business' "default stack". This is why we gave HelpSite.io [1] a free version that includes features that I consider "necessary" for any business no matter how small, even when most of our competitors are charging for some of them. The more you can align with a startup's own business model (e.g. they need lots of light services up front even when they have no revenue; later they will have revenue and use those services more heavily) the better off you will do. 1. https://helpsite.io https://helpsite.io
