Good question, let me try to answer. I'm doing this out of memory so some might be wrong: - DropBox is $99 a year for 50Gig - we get Confluence hosted for free

Good question, let me try to answer. I'm doing this out of memory so some might be wrong:
- DropBox is $99 a year for 50Gig
- we get Confluence hosted for free because we're a successful Atlassian plugin developer
- I forget how much Last.fm is but I think it's very cheap, plus the free version is plenty good enough
- I think we're paying about $250/month for Slicehost right now
- a SkypeIn number is $60/year I think
- we're spending $34/month for Freshbooks
- we're spending $49/month for GetSatisfaction because we signed up at the very beginning (they had an offer)
- E-Junkie is $10/month
- Paypal pro is $30/month (I think)
- Spreedly is $19/month
That's pretty much it! What does it add up to? In general, I can tell you that it's a very small percentage of our expenses (salaries is where our $$ goes)...in a way we can't afford NOT to use these tools.
- davidw 17y agoDepending on what you're doing, you can definitely save money and get similar service with Linode: http://journal.dedasys.com/2008/11/24/slicehost-vs-linode http://journal.dedasys.com/2008/11/24/slicehost-vs-linode Basically, with Slicehost, you are paying to have 64 bit pointers - without that, the price difference isn't that big.
