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.

Olark, among others. I'm surprised no one has mentioned them.
