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…

I got tired of collecting open source projects in my chrome bookmarks so I decided to compile a curated list of: - Recently active projects on GitHub - Mostly dev tools (but also productivity, analytics) - Projects which are "Alternative to X software" My bookmarks are finally empty:D If you have a great open source tool you use, I'd be glad to hear your suggestions. Also, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hi HN! I’m Mario, and I’m about to launch IssuePay. Problem: Open-source contributors don’t get direct financial recognition for their work. Solution: IssuePay lets maintainers post bounties on GitHub/GitLab issues. Contributors pick tasks, merge code, and get paid automatically. You can then withdraw your earnings directly to your Bank Account. Try it out: https://issuepay.app Questions: Would love feedback on our UX, payout reliability, or any scaling tips. Note: Open to partnerships with OSS communities! Thank you, guys ! <3

This is a previous project I decided to relaunch. There's tons of directories that accept all submissions, but I feel like that just waters down the platform. It also isn't fair for the amazingly built tools and services. I pivoted to a premium-only directory and feel like charging a small fee, while it might take longer to build the portfolio of listed tools, they'll be of much higher quality than other platforms.

Hey HN, I'm Namanyay from https://gigamind.dev/. One of the most empowering applications of LLMs is enabling non-technical people to build apps and products. This value is reflected in the revenues of companies like Lovable and Bolt. Many of Giga's paying customers are business executives building valuable automations and internal tools that increase efficiency. But, the incumbents currently operate on pay-as-you-go pricing, which is a predatory business model that I ethically disagree with. I believe the future of vibe coding tool pricing needs to be outcome based vs PAYG.…

Hi HN, I’m Yahya, founder of Rocket Money (formerly Truebill, YC W16). I’m working with a team to launch Payloop, a lightweight infrastructure layer that helps teams understand the real costs of deploying AI agents - across tasks, workflows, and customers. Here's a quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-GkSl_7imY Most companies today can't see what it actually costs to deploy their agents, making it nearly impossible to manage margins or price confidently. Payloop solves this with an elegant approach: just a single line of code gives you real-time visibility into cost…

Hey HN: Kaveh here, founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We help companies drive down AWS, GCP, and Azure spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs rather than focusing on business problems. I have been building Usage AI for almost 4 years now (4 year anniversary in 1 month from now!) with an incredible group of founding people. We started as a product just to help lower AWS EC2 costs, and now we do all major AWS services (such as RDS, OpenSearch, ElastiCache, and Redshift with more on the way) and other…
