• AI coding

  Tools that use LLMs to write or review code. Moves weekly; our verdicts are dated.

• Analytics

  Tools for measuring website and product usage. The big debate: privacy vs ecosystem.

• CRM

  Tools for tracking customers and deals. The B2B SaaS category most prone to bloat.

• Design

  Tools for designing interfaces, brands, and visual assets. A near-monopoly at the top, real choice underneath.

• Forms

  Tools for collecting structured data from people. Most are over-engineered for the job.

• Landing pages

  Tools for shipping marketing pages without a developer. The line between this and full website builders is blurry.

• Newsletters

  Tools for sending newsletters and growing a subscriber list. The 2024 shakeout left three real choices.

• Note-taking

  Tools for capturing notes, docs, and personal knowledge. The category is crowded; the 80/20 is not.

• Project management

  Tools for tracking work across a team. Heavy enterprise tilt — most teams need 10% of what these ship.

• Scheduling

  Tools for booking meetings without the email back-and-forth. The category is a commodity; pick on philosophy.
