Tool Recommendations by Team Type
GitHub + Linear
The modern SaaS engineering stack. GitHub for version control + Copilot for AI, Linear for fast issue tracking. Best for 2–50 person eng teams.
GitLab (self-hosted)
Teams that need all-in-one (CI/CD + security + registry) and want to own their infrastructure. Often chosen for compliance reasons.
Atlassian Suite
Large enterprise engineering orgs already in Jira + Confluence. Switching cost is high — stay if you're in, avoid if you're not.
Stripe
Developer-first payments for SaaS and e-commerce. Best API, best documentation, most ecosystem integrations. Worth the 2.9%.
Zapier → Make at scale
Start with Zapier (easiest), switch to Make (Integromat) when task volume gets expensive. Make is 5–10x cheaper at high volumes.
