Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Maker here.
I'm a solo indie developer from China. Over the past 3 years, I've built several SaaS products for the global market. The #1 question I always get from other Chinese indie devs is:
"What tools do I need? And how do I accept payments without a US company?"
So I built chuhai-toolkit — a curated, battle-tested directory of every tool you need to ship a global product.
What makes it different:
- 🇨🇳 Built specifically for developers outside the US ecosystem
- 📊🇳 20 head-to-head comparisons (Vercel vs Cloudflare, Paddle vs Lemon Squeezy, etc.)
- 💰 Complete "Start from $0" stack — every tool has a free tier
- 🔓 No paywall, no signup, no ads. Just honest recommendations
The affiliate model:
We use affiliate links for some tools. This means when you sign up through our links, we earn a small commission — at zero cost to you. It's how we keep the site alive and updated.
What's next:
- More comparisons (shooting for 50+)
- An iOS app called Screenshot Studio for App Store screenshots
- A SaaS starter kit
Would love your feedback! What tools should I add? What comparison should I do next?
