Spent the last month building Fertit - basically a newsletter manager but you bring your own SMTP and skip the DevOps nightmare. All the features (subscriber management, admin dashboard, custom preferences) without the infrastructure markup. The math that broke me: Mailchimp: $230/month for 15k contacts My solution: $10/month infrastructure + $10 SendGrid = unlimited What I learned: The "enterprise" features are mostly database operations with SMTP APIs. But the 3 weeks of Go/PostgreSQL/Redis setup explains why people just pay ConvertKit $300/month. Here's the thing:…

There's just too many variables that factor into the cost, and each platform has a slightly different pricing scheme.

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…
