We're on a mission to help bootstrapped founders find the right tools for their journey—without the noise.
As indie hackers ourselves, we've wasted countless hours researching tools, comparing alternatives, and debugging setup issues. We built Indiebase to save you from the same frustration.
Using AI to analyze tools, user reviews, and pricing, we help you find the perfect fit for your stage and budget. Every tool is carefully curated with bootstrapped founders in mind.
Smart search and recommendations powered by AI to find exactly what you need. Tools are organized by startup stage and auto-matched to your journey.
We prioritize tools with generous free tiers, great developer experience, and pricing that makes sense for bootstrapped teams.
Real reviews from indie hackers who actually use these tools. No fake testimonials, just honest feedback from the community.
We clearly disclose affiliate relationships and never let them influence our honest reviews. If a tool sucks, we'll tell you.
Indiebase started after I spent three weeks choosing a database for my side project. Three weeks! I read dozens of "Best Database" listicles that all recommended the same enterprise tools with $500/month price tags.
What I needed was simple: What's the best database for a bootstrapped founder with 0 users and $50/month to spend? That question led me down a rabbit hole of testing every database that offered a generous free tier.
I realized other indie hackers were facing the same problem across every category—auth, payments, email, hosting. We needed a resource that actually understood our constraints and our journey.
So I built Indiebase. A tool directory organized by startup stage, focused on indie-friendly tools, with honest reviews from someone who's been in the trenches.
We're always looking for feedback from indie hackers like you.
