What do you think is the best free online tool for entrepreneurs?

I just got back from participating in my first Startup Weekend event (honored to be asked to join as a coach) and was wondering what this seasoned entrepreneur community would recommend in terms of project management tools, landing pages, bug tracking, etc.


Here are a few that are either all out free, or free up to a certain usage.

1. Onetab (Quick save all tabs, nice chronological grouping)

2. Google Docs (Powerful enough for most businesses)

3. Freshbooks (Free up to 3 clients - worth the upgrade after)

4. Mailchimp (Free up to 12,000 emails and 2,000 subscribers, and worth paying for after also)

5. Insightly (CRM free up to 3 users, 2,500 contacts. Which is a great start)

6. Inspectlet (Like Crazyegg, except they have a free option)

7. Asana (Great PM/Task with a generous free product)

8. Evernote/Skitch (MUST HAVE!. Every entrepreneur needs a way to compile their thoughts and research. I find this so important to even finding more about myself as I look back at the things I saved)

9. Trello (PM for creatives.)

Then you have of course, Skype and Google Analytics which require no explanation.


Awesome, thanks for the rundown richsin!


i like asana alot
