_Have to look into this more. Like their pricing calculator: https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator/ and their pricing calculator sort of thing vs AWS: https://cloud.google.com/pricing/tco/_

_Directly competing against AWS it seems. $500 credits for 3 months it seems right now for "new" users._

And now people also also sometimes use Skype and/or Hangouts, but not the same exactly.. Not sure if Hangouts does only audio/voice chatting. If not, then that probably wouldn't be as much of an overlap. And stuff like push to talk is a biggie. Repeatedly muting is probably annoying, lol. #alternatives #voice_chatting #chatting #!TO_TAG #pub

Looks like a very nice CRM for my needs, as a personal CRM manager and for business too, but much more friendly and not so business focused with all that shiz. No web interface it seems. Reviews seem to indicate the "syncing" isn't that great, but if it works decently, then maybe this would be good. #CRMs #cross-platform #iOS #iPad #mac #alternatives #pub

Uh, is this free? I don't get it. Doesn't seem to be as good as Highrise or the other Mac app, but if it is free or cheap, then who cares! ANd it def seems to be for simpler and more personal focused management. Has some sycning and aggregating too, calendar, etc... #CRMs #cross-platform #iOS #iPad #mac #alternatives #free* #pub

$10/user. Base price. For me though, prob eh :/ #CRMs #SaaS #trial #paid #monthly #price:$10 #alternatives #pub

Their pricing is way too cheap - $47 (tho this one is so simple and basically worthless, just there to make you get the main $97 one. The $797 one is for an agency, basically the same, but "agency" so 10 logins, feature of ad-watch update notifications, and feature of advertiser contact csv - not something i can offer at first, unless their stuff is pretty simple and just a whois crawl into a csv - will check) @TODO _Another site in the same-ish space of paid software for [affiliate] ad intelligence.

pricey is debatable since it really isn't. Just each platforms app costs something. Mainly the web app being $9 (just one time) really isn't a big deal at all, but podcasts half the time, you don't want an internet connection, no?

Overall, I mainly want features that don't seem to matter since they are almost never included or mentioned much. For podcast episodes: Being able to bookmark/make notes (text, audio, whatever) and info, links, resources, etc. Audible and Instacast (which is dead now) have it the closest.

More common:
Different variable speeds (especially below 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x) and diff rewind/fast forward increments as well are biggies. Though these are usually included and touted. Just perhaps not as deep as all the variants I listed. #!TO_TAG_bit_more #podcasts #apps #cross_platform #mobile_apps #web_apps #paid #pricey #alternatives #organization #consumption #media #learning #audio #video #pub
