Productivity apps could be anything that lets you get more things done in less time. While larger organizations are looking at SaaS to cut down costs and boost productivity by reducing the time spent on non-core activities; smaller startups are looking at SaaS for a variety of reasons like attracting better talent, improving employee satisfaction and bolstering communication.

Organizations mostly rely on a multitude of apps to get their things done and research shows that organizations with over 250 employees use over 100 SaaS apps; whereas, small firms of up to 50 employees use up between 25–50 SaaS solutions on average. Having said that, choosing from more than 25,000 SaaS products is not an easy task. So we have made your job easier. We have carefully selected the apps that, as a startup, you will need to boost your productivity without worrying about cost.
