What is your actual tech stack cost per month

Featured Replies

I just added up my subscriptions and I am at $340 per month. Email, landing pages, design, scheduling, hosting, course platform. Feels excessive for a solo business. What are you actually paying for your core stack?

$210. Email, scheduling, and design software. Cut everything else. If I cannot directly tie it to revenue or time saved, it goes. Quarterly audit keeps me honest.

$480 but I have a VA and contractor tools in that. Core business stack is about $280. I do not optimize for cheap. I optimize for what lets me focus on high value work.

$95. Email and hosting. Everything else is free tier or one time purchase. Most people pay for features they use once a month. Audit your actual usage, not your aspirational usage.

I am at $410 and panicking. Hearing DerekNoBS at $95 is making me question everything. What is the one tool you would never cut even if money got tight?

$340 is a lot but it depends what you're actually getting out of each one

I'm at about $85/month total:

Hosting: $12

Domain: $2 (yearly split)

Email: free (using the free tier of a popular provider)

Scheduling: free (built into my email)

Design: free (Canva free tier)

Course stuff: nothing yet, just hosting on my own site

What helped me most was cancelling everything for a month and only resubscribing when I genuinely missed it so, I didn't need half of them.

Which one hurts the most to pay? That's usually the one to kill first.

Loom > email for explanations. 2-minute video beats 10-minute typing. Clients understand faster. Fewer revisions.

Automated my onboarding. Client books, contract sends, invoice generates, welcome email delivers. I do nothing.
