$0 Starter Stack — common questions

What counts as the $0 Starter Stack?

+

Tools that cost nothing to start. Yearly and per-seat prices are converted to a monthly equivalent first, so a tool billed $600 a year sits in the same band as one billed $50 a month. The three bands hold every active tool exactly once, with no overlap and none missing.

How many tools in the $0 Starter Stack does the directory list?

+

34 active tools, including Algolia Recommend, Arc Search and AWS SageMaker. Each entry lists its category, pricing tier, starting price and what it is best for, so the set can be compared side by side rather than read one review at a time.

Are there free tools in the $0 Starter Stack?

+

Yes — 34 of the 34 have a free or freemium tier. That means a $0 way in, not necessarily a free product: the directory records where a free tier ends and what the first paid plan costs, because those are different facts.
