I’ve been using Square and the only features I use are to invoice clients and to have them sign contracts online. I’ve been paying $20/mo so that I can change the wording from “deposit” to “retainer” on the invoices because it fits my business better.

Just received notice that they are changing the tiers and it will now be $50/mo and with added features that I will not use.

Any suggestions for similar software that isn’t $50/mo?

About 2,800 employees, 4 legal entities, 3 currencies, SF staying as the crm, netsuite downstream. Mostly annual subscription with a usage component growing faster than anyone forecast.

We are in week 6 of narrowing down a shortlist and we keep getting the same names. Nue, conga, dealhub, oracle, or staying in sf if that matters.

What we want is an honest review rather than an evaluation. Every evaluation looks the same on paper. we need to know what you picked and whether the thing that sold you still mattered months or an year later.

The part we are not quite able to reason from the inside is native versus non native. Staying inside salesforce boundary means less intergration work. but we have been burned previously by native meaning we will inherit the platforms way of doing things.

If you stayed on arm and it was the right call, say that too. we would rather hear it now than later on.

I've tried a few different productivity apps, but I keep running into the same problem: the app itself can be great, but after a while I stop using it consistently.

I'm curious what matters most to people here. Is it simplicity, reminders, habit tracking, AI assistance, gamification, customization, or something else?

For those who have actually stuck with one productivity app long-term, what made it different from the others you've tried?

Should I go ahead and do it. Anyone wants to join me?

I've been building local business lead lists for outreach and was looking for a way to avoid manually copying business names, websites, phone numbers, and addresses from Google Maps.

I've been using Outscraper's Google Maps scraper, and it definitely speeds up the process by exporting business data into a spreadsheet. It works well for my use case, but I'm curious if there are other tools that people prefer.

I'm mainly looking for something that can:

• Export Google Maps business listings
• Include websites, phone numbers, and addresses
• Handle larger searches efficiently
• Be reasonably priced

Has anyone switched from Outscraper to another Google Maps scraping or local lead generation tool? If so, what made you switch, and would you recommend it?
