I started this a long time ago but it quickly grew too tedious and unwieldy for me to complete. I'd like to open it for editing so anyone can include their own tool or fill in details, but I'm afraid it might become overwhelmed by bad info or completely messed up. So if you would like to contribute or add your own info, please shoot me an email and I'll add you to the edit list.
Impressive list. I agree that spreadsheet with open editing will be spammed very quickly (especially this type of spreadsheet with different tools). I've hoped to solve this issue in http://hnresources.com/ with github. If someone want to share resource he creates a pull request but this approach seems too nerdy even for hn audience :)
At the very least I would like to see GDocs enable the ability to approve modifications prior to them being published. (Maybe they do - but I couldn't find it anywhere.)
Any thoughts on finances? For a startup full of software focused engineers, I'd like to get taxes sorted out and managed. Any thoughts/insight on this?
I'd love this as well. I dont think it exists, unfortunately.
if you represented the possibilities of business tax as a flowchart, it'd be way too big (especially for me, as I'm Canadian dealing with Americans) to be easily handled. I think. I hope I'm wrong.
That post yesterday was what prompted me to go ahead and share this. My goal was to provide a little more at a glance info than most lists like that tend to do.
ah sorry! I thought I'd seen this somewhere else, hadn't realized it was through HN - doh! And yeah, yours is far more helpful in an at-a-glance sense.
Wow, great list thanks!
For CRM you can also add Nimble, they integrate with google app, linkedin and facebook. If you use google apps its really good.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've added this under Publishing. If you'd like, email me or send an edit request. That way you can update the listing if your prices change, etc.
That's the problem I ran into when creating it. I started with a small set of tools that I use personally, but as I continued researching the list grew exponentially.
Killer-tool! We have built some integrations to it to make our communication asynchronous (humans vs. humans, devs vs. servers, etc.), and got plans for even more. I know people been doing this for looong for IRC, but I find HipChat more usable for non-hackers (the biz folks "get it") and it's more tweakable (visually via HTML-formatting). Lovely.
There's no mention of PagerDuty in the Alerts / Monitoring section. There's also nothing in the way of DevOps tools a la Puppet / Chef, and metrics tools such as Graphite.
You can look forward soon to a project code named, Tempus for the time being. It will be a fully featured Time Management & Invoicing software(web app) written by and for Freelancers & Dev Shops alike, with tie-in options for accepting online CC payments and Basecamp - ALL at an affordable price. Even a client-count limited FREE version. I've been contemplating a blog of the design, and development process and posting to HN, but didn't know if that might be too boring even for all us nerds. My competion would be companies like Cashboard and FreshBooks. Let me know what you think!
I usually find spreadsheets harder to compare when it gets bigger (similar to the comparison table on wikipedia). I have added the first few sub-lists on Romku:
Wasn't even aware Romku existed. What a cool service. I personally think, though, that the spreadsheet is more useful, just because I can compare features without having to click on multiple choices and looking at each individual list of features. However, the spreadsheet can indeed become unwieldy. Might be more useful as separate spreadsheets for each category if it gets too large.
Actually, you can also compare the features of multiple profiles: click on the icon below each star ratings on a given list and then click on "Compare" on the little box that appears at the bottom left of the screen. For instance, for the issue tracker software: http://www.romku.com/compare/144524/189564/152689/152158/144...

Hopefully it proves useful to someone!

(not indicating any plagiarism or anything of the sort, just happened to come across this yesterday!)
I've been looking for a finance/expense tracking app for a while but haven't found something that fits my requirements. I hope this list helps
eBookBurn (https://ebookburn.com/)
which is run by my startup.
Great list, thanks for compiling it.
For every tool I have on the list there are probably equally 3 good tools I don't have listed yet.
Shopify - minimum $29 Amazon Web Stores - $24.99 BigCommerce - $24.95
I could add more data in a sheet and share it if you want.

I'm not sure how well GDocs forms work with multiple submissions though.
If you would like to help maintain this, I'll still grant access - just email me.

Please let me know if you find it easier to navigate and I'll create the other ones (you can see the lists of lists here: http://www.romku.com/lists)
