AWS
Used it for many years.
Used it for many years. Reliable and trustworthy. Awful customer service and user experience. Wish there was more alternatives. Google isn't much better.

AWS
It's ok.
It's ok. I want to give it 1-star, but it's AWS, it doesn't exactly "go down" often. But the UX, the billing, the permissions, everything about AWS is insanely frustrating. Their identity management is terrible, the navigation, nested permissions, it takes 30 minutes just to change a permission for a hosting environment. What a joke.

Clio
From X“Clio's $49 is not a PI-capable price. The Personal Injury Add-On is priced per user on top of the base tier.”
Danjuma Amedu · @DejayAmedu
DocuSign
From X“@gregorykennedy I know business still Docusign $100k+ a year, for the same features included in a $14 a month Google subscription. Insane.”
Sean McGinnis · @seanmcginnis
AWS
From X“We used to pay AWS close to $8,000 a month. Today, our entire company runs on 3 rented bare metal servers at Hetzner. That's 4 SaaS products with more than 50,000 users (apps, databases, background jobs and monitoring included). The bill is around $300 a month.”

Webflow
From the web“The yearly plan is increasing to $15/month, the monthly plan increases to $25/month, and the static page limit doubles from 150 to 300.”

Teams that built their own
Atlanta real estate firm Greenleaf replaced Salesforce with a CRM a partner built himself. It runs on about $300 a month and saves about $100,000 a year.
Grayson Gladu's home services team built a custom CRM in 7 days on top of GoHighLevel and QuickBooks. It saves $700 a month in fees and $1,500 in staff time, about $26,400 a year.
