Almost all of these are directly related to running my business, but here we go: Shopify, Zendesk, Mailchimp, Highrise, KISSmetrics, Recurly.

Other "stuff" I pay for that's not quite SaaS: Linode, Twilio, ThemeForest.

Github - Code repo

Skype - phone calls

Pivotal Tracker - Agile - Yo baby!

Raven Tools - SEO and reporting

Freshbooks - Billing

Quickbooks online - "accounting"

Balsamiq Online - Collaborative Mockups

and I think my new SaaS that I will be announcing in about 5 days will be well worth the money :-)

Has anyone actually developed his own ERP on the cloud? I did, as I evaluated many SaaS accounting software and find none of them suit my needs, and NetSuite, SAP, etc. are too expensive for me.
