StackDiet public betaA lean SaaS stack for a one-person webshop
Cover email, social conversations and customer management without subscribing to three overlapping marketing suites.
StackDiet rule: start with the jobs you need done, not a list of popular tools. Add a second subscription only when it covers a distinct job the first one cannot.
Shortlist by job
| Tool | Best fit | Diet logic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| GetResponse | Email marketing and automation | Use as the email/automation core when you do not need a heavy CRM. | Compare → |
| Manychat | Instagram and DM automation | Add only if social conversations are a real acquisition or sales channel. | Compare → |
| ActiveCampaign | Email + CRM consolidation | Consider instead of separate email and CRM tools when deeper customer journeys matter. | Compare → |
| HubSpot | Broader CRM / sales / support | Move here when sales pipeline and support become distinct business jobs. | Compare → |
How to keep this stack lean
Do not automatically buy both a broad email automation platform and a separate CRM. First map the workflow: capture → nurture → sale → support. If one platform covers two stages well enough, consolidation usually beats feature collecting.
