ImprovMX

Free email-forwarding service. Add MX records and `hello@yourdomain.com` forwards to your personal Gmail — brand email without paying $7/mo for Google Workspace.

hello@crewtool.app runs on this. Two MX lines in GoDaddy DNS and it forwards to my company Gmail. $7/mo saved vs Google Workspace × 12 months of hands-on use.

Paddle

Merchant of Record (MoR) payment platform. Paddle collects and files VAT, GST, and sales tax on your behalf. Built for global SaaS subscription selling.

I route Crewtool's Featured Partner billing through Paddle. Fees are higher than Stripe, but letting Paddle handle VAT and Japanese consumption tax is a massive time-saver for a solo operator.

Apify

Web scraping, crawling, and automation platform with thousands of ready-made Actors and custom builds. The de facto standard for AI data pipelines.

Runs every day at 5 years apart (5years+) for Korea/Japan B2B lead discovery and price monitoring. If n8n is the orchestrator, Apify is the scraping engine. They come as a pair.

Plausible

Cookie-free lightweight web analytics. GDPR/privacy-friendly. Simpler than GA4 with a one-page dashboard.

Ideal when Japan's tightening privacy law pushes you toward cookie-free minimal analytics. Crewtool uses Plausible instead of GA4.

Stripe

The global standard for online payment APIs. Covers cards, subscriptions, invoicing, tax, and Connect (platform) flows.

Effectively the first choice for global SaaS. The hard constraint is no direct payout for Korean entities — most teams route through Singapore or US entities.

AI & Automation★ 6+ mo used

Postman

Industry-standard API development, testing, docs, and collaboration platform. Shared collections, mock servers, and automation.

Every developer debugs APIs, and most use Postman. Shared collections double as de facto documentation for Korean and Japanese teams alike.
