AI-Powered Calendar That Protects Your Time

Greetings from The SaaSsy Entrepreneur, a weekly newsletter that injects a healthy dose of digital steroids into your life and business 💉

Today we'll cover 5 useful tools and 5 interesting links.

• Mayday - The AI-assisted calendar

• Freepik - Creative assets library

• GummySearch - Reddit research platform

• PriceWell - No-code Stripe subscriptions

• Introwise - Scheduling, payments, video calls for creative educators

Mayday

• Smart scheduling links

• Auto-scheduled tasks

• Available on iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS

• Google Calendar integration with Microsoft 365 and Apple iCloud coming soon

Pricing: Free while in beta

My 2 cents: Mayday is a new kind of calendar that uses AI to help you organize and manage your schedule more efficiently and effortlessly.

Freepik

• Photos, videos, mockups, icons, fonts, vector & 3D graphics

• New assets added daily

• No ads, full license

Pricing: €15/month; €9/month when billed annually

My 2 cents: Find tons of visual assets for all kinds of creative needs. Freepik’s got a massive library of quality assets with more added every day. They recently rolled out stock videos. I wouldn’t be surprised if audio ones would soon follow.

GummySearch

• Research audience across 130,000 active communities on Reddit

• Find, filter, visualize, and track keywords that matter to your brand

• Discover communities, validate ideas, get insights

Pricing: $29/month Starter; $59/month Pro; $149/month Team

My 2 cents: Reddit is a goldmine for customer research, idea validation, niche discovery, content inspiration, and more. But (and it’s a big "but") searching through Reddit sucks. GummySearch’s advanced searching, filtering, and tracking make it easy and fast.

PriceWell

• No-code GDPR compliant Stripe subscriptions

• Embeddable pricing pages

• Powerful customer portal for managing subscriptions

• Works with other website builders and no-code platforms

Pricing: Free Launcher $0 - $1K MRR; $19/month Scale Up $1 - $10K MRR; $49/month Bootstrapper $10K+ MRR

My 2 cents: If you don’t have technical skills, figuring out and integrating Stripe subscriptions could be a major pain. PriceWell wants to fix that. They give you the no-code tools you need to create subscriptions and pricing pages without hiring a developer.

Introwise

• Schedule calls with clients and keep track of your availability

• Accept credit card payments and receive payouts directly to your bank account

• Conduct high-quality video calls from any device via web portal

Pricing: Free + 2.5% commission; $15/month Growth + 1.5% commission; $39/month Pro + no commission

My 2 cents: Introwise aims to be a central hub for your business. From scheduling to payment processing to private or group video calls, they provide all the necessary tools for you to connect with your clients.

The name of the game is "Guess the number of replies" 🎰

Reply with your best guess of how many people reply to this email in one week. Whoever guesses the correct number wins the prize pool money 💰 The counter resets every week, btw.

If no one guesses the number I'll double the pool and the show will go on. Heads up, I'll be posting the # of active newsletter subscribers on Twitter and LinkedIn occasionally.

If by the year's end, the game is still on I'll donate the money to a charity.

May the odds be ever in your favor!
