You’ve got $100/mo to spend on tools as a solo founder; what’s in your crate?

Say you’re launching a side project, SaaS tool, or micro-startup…

You’ve got a $100 monthly budget to spend on SaaS tools and want to spend it wisely on tools that help with the selling (dev tools like cursor aren't included), just stuff that helps you actually run or grow the business.

What would you pick? (Say each tool would cost $5/mo)

Here’s what I think I’d go for (open to better picks):

1. AI idea grader
2. Unique selling point (USP) identifier
3. Problem score analyser (real pain or just nice-to-have?)
4. Headline/copy generator
5. Waitlist manager
6. Outreach DM/email builder (writing the copy)
7. automated DMs
8. Audience finder (where they hang out)
9. Dynamic email list automation
10. Landing page critique tool
11. AI-summarized feedback board
12. Simple startup KPI dashboard
13. Social media post gen
14. Business legal paper advisor and generator (most of the time i miss some legal docs or don't know how to write them)
15. SaaS exit planner
16. Image generator
17. UI generator
18. Daily progress tracker with a report generator (I've been hating manually doing this)
19. Pricing calculator (with a finance tracker like CAC, LTV, margins, etc)
20. and an AI DM agent (even though it's hard with reddit because they keep track of everything)
