Startup Costs

Hello PH! 👋 About a month ago I was talking to some fellow-makers about their monthly running costs. How much was it? What products do they use? Being fairly open about some metrics of my business, I was surprised to see many do not share their monthly running costs. I do find it's an interesting metric, after all: running a modern internet company often relies on other online companies. Also: how much is left after paying most bills? After getting some positive feedback from others, I decided to spend part of my weekend getting something decent out the door. 🚀 The feedback after I shared this basic version on various places was really positive. Makers and founders alike were excited to browse through the listings and to sshare their monthly running costs too: “I enjoy using it to keep track of the various services I use” and “I discovered product X through Startup Costs”. 😍 Since that first version, the feature-set has mostly stayed the same. The biggest addition since is the “product directory”. This is a categorised overview of products currently in use by startups and is ordered by popularity. It's built MVP-style, so expect more features to be added. 💪 I keep a simple roadmap on the site. New features include one-time costs, different intervals (quarterly, annual) and more. These and others will be part of the “pro features” I am working on. Monthly running costs featured in the images are from Muna, Blurt by @corey_gwin and Krit by @AndrewAskins. Thanks to all founders, makers and others already added their running costs. It's been inspiring and refreshing to see. ♥️🙏 If you have any questions or ideas, let me know. Any maker that's on Product Hunt you want to see on Startup Costs? Tag them in the comments! 🛎 And if you are brave, you can add your monthly running costs too. ✌️

Good job @eelcojellema, very inspiring when we are launching our own side project.

Are these just operational costs? How about payroll costs? Paying freelancers or employees. Are they included too?

I really dig Startup Costs! Slick looking and, as @eelcojellema mentioned, has been a great way for me to keep track of all my expenses for Blurt. Wondering if it'd be cool to have another view by product—see all the startups using a particular product (similar to UpTools)?

Love this, however I found the nav lacking. I couldn't get around very easily. Love it though.
