    Hey HN! Christine and Steven here. As a PM and engineer, we’ve both evaluated and purchased a lot of software. One of the biggest frustrations was figuring out how much it would cost us without having to go through the sales process. When we did have a quote, we had no idea if we were getting a good deal or ripped off. We built a site where you can see what other companies are actually paying for SaaS and enterprise software. Buyers contribute prices via quotes, pricing proposals, and other documentation to ensure quality. We unlocked Talkdesk for Show HN users so that you can use the…

    Hello HN Community, As an ex-founder of a developers-for-hire agency, I was fortunate to build for many different software organizations around the world, and partner with the most talented product teams. One of the things I learned by coding was how painful it is to build & maintain pricing in SaaS. The pricing structure and logic always end up being coupled with the core application code and the billing platform. The product catalog is typically managed in spreadsheets, by the product & monetization teams, while all the possible package types, including the legacy ones, are typically…

    Hey we are launching Docs.dev, a full feature docs product that lets you host your developer docs on Cloudflare in a couple minutes. Why this exists: We don’t think every early stage startup should need to pay $300-$500 a month for beautiful docs, in fact every startup should just have beautiful human and agent ready docs ready to go. Additionally the workflow for docs is a lot different now in that Claude Code or Codex will generate 60-80% of the code, so why not have them update your docs as well. After they generate the docs, the missing piece is there will be some sentences, sections,…

    Hey HN, I’ve been building SaaS products and running small service businesses for a while, and I kept running into the same issue — founders with great small ideas (like an internal dashboard, automation, or MVP) struggle to get them built quickly without overpaying or managing freelancers. Agencies quote $5k–$10k, freelancers are hit-or-miss, and even with no-code tools, you still need design and tech skills. So I built MicroBuilder.dev - a simple way for non-technical founders and small teams to get small builds done. Here’s how it works: 1. You describe what you want built or your pain.…

    Mintlify Pro costs 250 USD per month. We wanted something similar (AI assistant and nice UI), but fully customizable and cheap. So we built GibsonAI docs in 1 day for about 50 USD. How we did it: Used Lovable for UI components + rendering MDX beautifully (Markdown stored in GitHub). Built an AI Agent for docs using Agno + Memori → personalized Q&A and “smart educator.” Stored embeddings in LanceDB and metadata in our SQL DB. Bonus: We can share our reusable design templates and source code so you can deploy on Vercel (or anywhere) and skip Lovable costs. Would love feedback on what features…

    Hi HN! I built a super lightweight invoicing platform for solo developers, freelancers, and one-person businesses. Most invoicing software costs $20–$40/month and is packed with features you don’t need. Mine is $20/year and focuses on the essentials: • Create invoices in seconds • Send invoices by email • Automatic email reminders • Recurring invoices • Simple dashboard for paid/unpaid tracking • No team features, no CRM, no bloat I built this because I freelance occasionally, and every invoicing tool I tried either felt bloated, overly enterprisey, or was way too expensive…

    I built xAPIs.dev because the official X API pricing killed my side project. X's current pricing: Basic is $200/month for 10K tweets. Pro is $5,000/month for 1M tweets. Enterprise starts at $42,000/month. xAPIs.dev pricing: Free tier with 10 calls for testing. Pro at $9.99/month for 10K calls. Lifetime deal at $199.99 one-time for 20K calls/month. No Twitter Developer account needed. No OAuth setup. Just a simple API key. 47+ endpoints covering: user profiles, followers, tweets, comments, retweets, full-text search, trending topics, Lists, Communities, and Spaces.…
