Quick question: are tools like Trigger.dev, Firecrawl, and similar paid services really necessary from the start, or are there good free alternatives? I’m currently doing the 7 Day AIS Challenge and planning to upgrade to Community Plus, but I’m already paying for Claude Code Max and don’t have clients yet. I’d prefer to add more paid tools only once I start closing some contracts.
Any advice would be appreciated 🫶🏻
