Post the whole list with prices. This is one of the most useful things founders can share, because tool costs are easy to look up one at a time and hard to see as a total.
Template:
- Product and stage: one line
- Frontend and backend:
- Database:
- Hosting:
- Payments:
- Email (transactional and marketing):
- Analytics:
- Error tracking and monitoring:
- Support:
- Domains and other subscriptions:
- Total per month:
- The one you would cut first:
- The one you would never cut:
To start it off, FoundersOnly's own outline: Next.js and Postgres on a single VPS, deployed with Coolify, with self-hosted Umami for analytics and Dodo Payments for billing. Premium members can read the full write-up, incidents included, in the guides.
A pattern to watch for in the replies: the total is usually higher than the founder guessed, and two or three subscriptions are usually doing nothing.
