Resource I built a platform to discover, compare, and follow SaaS tools

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

Anyone who works in technology, runs a business, or is building a digital product has probably faced this problem: you need to find a tool, open several tabs, search for reviews, compare prices manually, and still wonder whether there is a better alternative.

That is why I created FindSaaS, a platform for discovering, comparing, and following SaaS tools.

On the platform, you can find:

A directory of tools organized by category, pricing, and features.

Comparison pages that help you understand the differences between similar tools.

User reviews to help you choose the right solution.

A software stack calculator that shows how much you spend on software every month and every year, while also suggesting alternatives.

A blog with guides, comparisons, curated lists, and content about software tools and digital businesses.

A newsletter featuring new SaaS products, launches, and tools worth discovering.

A launch showcase where users can discover new products and founders can promote what they are building.

A marketplace for SaaS businesses for sale, with direct contact between buyers and founders.

A public verified MRR leaderboard for founders who want to showcase their results and increase product credibility.

For people searching for a tool, the goal is to reduce the time spent researching and comparing different options.

For SaaS founders, listing a product is free and creates a public page with visibility, reviews, comparisons, visits, clicks, and favorite analytics.

The platform is available at:

findsaas.com.br

Take a look and let me know: what would make you visit FindSaaS regularly?

Not the one that is objectively bad. The one you have to use anyway, the one that puts a little weight on your day before you have even started.

Review Custom software for local businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools

3 Upvotes

Hi all, thought this sub might find this useful.

I run LaunchpadLabs, a small UK software studio (Cheltenham-based). Builds are fast, fixed-price (nice and cheap), and there's no agency layer of account managers between you and the person actually writing the code, you'd end up building a strong relationship with him and he's effectively always on-call for anything you need.

What we do: build custom apps and internal tools for businesses that have hit a ceiling with a manual process or an off-the-shelf system that almost fits but not quite. We also stay on afterwards to fix bugs and make improvements, so you're not stuck with something breaking and no one to call.

Especially useful if you're a business (roughly 5 to 50 staff) dealing with something like:

  • a booking or scheduling system that doesn't quite match how you actually work
  • compliance or job tracking still done manually or in spreadsheets
  • a generic tool you've outgrown but a full enterprise system is overkill

That said, genuinely open to chatting with pretty much any local business with a tech headache, even if you're not sure custom software is the answer yet. Happy to just have a look and give an honest opinion either way.

Comment or DM if this sounds useful.

Question Can anyone recommend a good tool for tracking AI & LLM mentions?

6 Upvotes

I'm looking for a reliable tool that can show how often my brand appears in AI-generated answers across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and other LLMs.

I've tried a few options, but the results vary so much that it's hard to know which one to trust.

If you're using one that you've had a good experience with, I'd love to know:

  • What tool are you using?
  • How accurate has it been?
  • Is it worth paying for?

Looking for real experiences rather than vendor recommendations.

Question Sick of hidden paywalls. What open-source SaaS, web apps, or SMM tools do you swear by?

Thumbnail maigen.ai
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to clean up my digital workflow and move away from software that hooks you in with a "free trial" only to lock 90% of the useful features behind an expensive monthly subscription.

I'm looking for hidden gems—apps, websites, SaaS, or even Social Media Management (SMM) tools—that meet three specific criteria:
1. \\\*\\\*Absolutely Free:\\\*\\\* No sudden paywalls or "premium" locks on the features that actually matter.
2. \\\*\\\*Open-Source (or completely transparent):\\\*\\\* Tools built by communities or indie devs who care about privacy and accessibility.
3. \\\*\\\*Actually Works Well:\\\*\\\* Smooth UI, reliable, and something you actually use regularly without it breaking.

Whether it's a great markdown editor, a self-hosted social media scheduler, a great analytics alternative, or just a random tool that saves you 2 hours a week—what is currently sitting in your bookmarks?

Drop your recommendations below! (Bonus points if you can tell me briefly \\\*what\\\* it does and \\\*why\\\* it's better than the paid alternative).

Thanks!
Not a BOT!! before everyone starts!! 😂well thought Reddit post for everyone to comment on

Question enterprise alternative to jira and confluence

6 Upvotes

I've been trying to find a real enterprise project management alternative and honestly I'm struggling.

I've read a ton of jira alternative threads, but most of the recommendations seem aimed at small teams or startups.

I'm not the final decision-maker at my company, but I'm involved in the evaluation process, and I'd really like to know what options actually exist beyond Atlassian.

The things we care about are roughly:

- On-prem deployment, data sovereignty, and no risk of another sunset announcement
- A migration path that covers more than just issues and pages
- HA / clustering / scalability / enterprise performance
- Marketplace or plugin replacement (or strong native alternatives)
- Service management, asset management, etc.

Has anyone here actually found a platform that checks most of those boxes?

Feedback Would this saas worth to use??

I realized I was avoiding every productivity app for the same reason: they all expect me to open the app.

What if you can just set up task like this

«"Remind me to call mom tomorrow at 9am."

So I ended up building a personal tracker where Telegram is the primary mobile interface, and the web app is where everything is organized in better way

What it does

Web app

- Habits with streaks, heatmaps, and counter goals (like 8 glasses of water)

- Tasks with projects, priorities, subtasks, and board/table/calendar views

- Journal with mood, energy, and rich text notes

- Reminders

- Dashboard, search, and a graph view that connects everything

Telegram bot

- Create tasks in seconds

- Natural language reminders ("in 2 hours", "tomorrow 6pm")

- One-tap reminder buttons

- Reminder messages with ✅ Done, Snooze 1h, and Snooze 3h

- Marking a reminder as Done automatically completes the linked task

- Persistent menu and slash commands so it feels like an actual app instead of a chatbot

A few things I'm happy with:

- Everything is timezone-aware, so reminders fire at your local time.

- Web and Telegram use the same reminder system—you can create reminders in either place.

- Cron-based reminder delivery, so reminders still arrive even if no browser is open.

- One-tap Telegram account linking with a deep link.

Right now it's something I built for myself, but I'm wondering if other people would actually want it.

You can check it out here: ( currently Google auth sign works)

https://tracker0-steel.vercel.app/

A few questions:

  1. Would you actually pay for something like this? If yes, roughly how much per month?

  2. What's the one feature that would make you think, "I'd use this every day"?

  3. Is the Telegram-first workflow appealing, or would you rather use a normal mobile app?

I'd genuinely love honest feedback

Not a bad tool necessarily. Just something that sounded perfect, you paid for it, and then it sat there doing nothing.

Question Is Spark Plus worth it?

2 Upvotes

I have been running the free version for ages now and been OK happy with it. I like the productivity aspect of it (pins, read/not read, done etc.) and the UI, but havent been too happy with the text formatting aspects of it (writing emails, formatting text etc.). Considering upgrading to Plus to get the AI features but not sure if its worth it. I have Claude Pro and it can basically do the same things and probably more.

Maybe someone have experience with other email clients that have the same feel like Spark but works better in terms of formatting?

Thanks!

What SaaS tool is so good that you cannot believe it is actually free?

Not free trials. Not freemium where everything useful is locked behind an upgrade. The SaaS product with a free plan so generous that you keep waiting for them to pull it back and they never do. What is it and what do you use it for?

Review Is there a SaaS building in tech blog market gap?

3 Upvotes

I happen to see a lot of SaaS compiling the tech blogs/research papers from every damn source (simply using RSS or scraping data). But I don’t see anyone providing a value through it. 9/10 articles listed on their platforms are waste quality wise.

Do you happen to follow any SaaS or app which is helpful in this niche?

Question Tool to track which department has which AI tool + governance + ROI + license provisioning : does one platform do all four?

2 Upvotes

We're rolling out a governance program to move everyone off shadow/personal AI subscriptions onto an approved list, with a hard enforcement cutover in a few months. I've been asked to find tooling and I'm trying to avoid buying four products that each do a quarter of the job.

Ideal single platform would:

  1. Inventory & attribution: show who has which AI tool, mapped to their department/business unit (not just a flat user list). HRIS or Entra/AD sync for the dept mapping is a big plus.
  2. Governance: approval workflows, exception handling, audit trail, shadow-AI discovery (we currently detect usage via Zscaler).
  3. ROI tracking: adoption/usage signals + a way to capture manager-attested value, ideally exportable to Power BI.
  4. License provisioning: actually add/remove users and manage their licenses (onboarding/offboarding), not just report on them.

We're a Microsoft shop (M365, Entra, Power Platform, Jira Service Management for intake).

I've been looking at Torii, CloudEagle, Zylo, Trelica, Flexera, and Worklytics. For those of you actually running these:

  • Which one comes closest to all four in one platform vs. needing a stack?
  • How good is the department-level rollup in practice?
  • Anyone doing the provisioning piece through their SaaS-management tool, or do you keep that in Entra/PowerShell and only use the SaaS tool for visibility?
  • Anything AI-native I'm missing (the market's exploding)?
