🚀 The Bootstrapper Stack

Launch for $0/mo. Everything you need to build, ship, and manage a SaaS product without spending a dime on software.

Total saved: ~$310/mo · Your cost: ~$6/mo (one VPS)

Deploy Order

Deploy in this order — each tool builds on the previous:

1. Coolify (your PaaS)

Coolify turns your VPS into a self-hosted Vercel. Once it’s running, you can deploy everything else through it.

→ Deploy Coolify

2. Supabase (your backend)

Database, authentication, storage, and realtime — all in one. This is your app’s backbone.

→ Deploy Supabase

3. Plausible (your analytics)

Drop Google Analytics. Plausible is lightweight, cookie-free, and respects your users’ privacy.

→ Deploy Plausible

4. Plane (your project board)

Jira without the Jira experience. Clean, fast, issue tracking that doesn’t make you want to quit.

→ Deploy Plane

5. Rocket.Chat (your team chat)

Slack without the $7/user/mo. Self-hosted, full-featured, and it doesn’t sell your conversations.

→ Deploy Rocket.Chat

6. Penpot (your design tool)

open source Figma alternative. Real-time collaboration, SVG-based, and free forever.

→ Deploy Penpot
