A two-person startup already uses twenty-eight other tools

I feel like a big portion of the apps you accomplish similar things. To name a few, Airtable, Notion, and Trello can all do CRM funnel, product roadmap and issue tracking. Even though 2 out of 3 are free, you guys could probably condense them into a centralized spot.

Additionally, one could sacrifice on features and use GitHub projects instead of Trello. That’s what we do at work. Not great, but pretty painless for tracking dev work

Sure, but in this particular example, they're on the free Trello tier, and I'd say it's already more full-featured than GitHub projects.

Btw, another cool alternative that I've been playing with lately is ClickUp, which also has a generous free tier.

And on a general note, given that these days all of these systems have good APIs and export capabilities, I'd say there isn't that much business case to consolidate to fewer systems.

They only spend $227/month in total. Why even bother centralizing? That's peanuts. I spend more than that on my personal AWS bill.

Funny and here i am trying to save 5 usd/month because my VPS is overpowered.

It really depends on where you live. 227usd is certainly not peanuts.

They're running a startup. If they can't turn $227 into orders of magnitude more they're not going to succeed.

When I was poor I stuck everything on very cheap machines too so I know what it means to have different constraints. Those constraints rarely mesh well with running a startup.
