👀 Sponsor this spot to share your product or service with our community.

Raise your hand if you need to price SaaS options for your team but you really don’t have time to sit through a high-pressure demo call right now?

Software Prices is a forever-free Chrome extension by Vendr that displays the real price of 20,000+ software products right on the landing page or review site that you’re browsing.

The data is provided by real buyers and allows you to compare pricing and see market ranges before moving forward or making a deal.

Notion Mail

This week, Notion launched Notion Mail, a smart email client powered by AI. It’s designed to work with Gmail and deeply integrate with Notion’s broader productivity suite.

One standout feature is its auto-labeled folders, which use Notion AI to intelligently sort incoming emails by topic — no manual tagging needed. So, emails related to job applications or customer feedback can automatically filter into dedicated views.

It looks and feels like Notion, and it also connects with tools like Notion Calendar to streamline tasks like scheduling meetings.

Klik Email

This tool transforms your custom email signature designs into clean, clickable HTML—no coding required.

Just upload your design, add interactive hotspots, and copy-paste the result into your email client. It’s tested to work with Gmail, Outlook, and more.

This easily saves hours of dev time, and once downloaded, your signature is yours to reuse anytime with lifetime access.

It’s free to try!

Firebase Studio

Google is giving Firebase a major glow-up, turning it from a developer-focused platform into a powerful DIY AI app builder.

Firebase Studio—now in preview and open to individual Google users—enables you to ✨ “vibe code” ✨ ideas into real apps.

Simply describe an app idea in plain language and receive a working prototype, complete with AI-generated code, layout, and features. You can tweak everything, then hit “prototype” to see your app come to life—no coding skills required.

Based on our prelim testing, it’s super useful for non-technical creatives to experiment with and demonstrate ideas before passing things on to human devs. Definitely give it a go.

The Hive Index

If you’re marketing to niche communities, you’re always on the hunt for digital spaces where people are actually talking—not just posting.

The Hive Index is a curated directory of online communities, organized by topic and platform.

You can use it to find active Slack and Discord groups where your target audience dishes about their problems and desires in their own language and on their own terms.

Happy lurking!

Echo Memo

If you’re aggregating content from across social for work inspo or, say, a marketing newsletter…

Or you just love collecting fire memes, you know how hard it is to find something again once you scroll past.

Echo Memo is a free cross-platform social media bookmarking tool that actually remembers what you save—whether it’s from X, TikTok, or YouTube.

It’s got—you guessed it—AI-powered search, so you can describe what you’re looking for (even visually!) and Echo pulls it up.

Pastel

Pastel is a simple tool that lets your team review and approve marketing assets like websites, emails, and images.

It’s especially helpful for email marketing, because users can leave comments directly on emails, making feedback easy to follow.

It also helps keep versions organized and turns uploaded emails into a space for collaborative edits. No more endless test emails.

There’s a free forever plan with one user, unlimited guest reviewers, and unlimited versions. Paid plans start at $35/month for more features.
