Umm Raek of course, but I might be a bit biased.

You can use my app if you want for Free. It's called LogHarvestor. It's lightweight log collecting tool :) https://www.logharvestor.com But I have heard good things about SendGrid! Also @jacquelinclem mentioned on another discussion a good alternative to Google Analytics. -> https://plausible.io/

@jacquelinclem @solomon_bush I'll check out Log Harvestor! Plausible looks very promosing - always on the look out for a GA alternative!
@solomon_bush @hugh_dawkins let us know if you loved them :)

I would add : - Google Webmaster Tools - ChartMogul (Subscription Analytics, if your side-project is a SaaS) - Splitbee.io (Conversion Analytics, you could use its free plan instead of Google Analytics) - Serpivore (SERP Analytics, free plan, if you plan to optimize SEO on your side project) And personally I prefer Namecheap for the domain name.

@samuelpigny Love this! How do you find Splitbee compared to GA?

@hugh_dawkins I found it a bit confusing at first but it's definitely more minimalist and privacy-focused than Google Analytics. I plan to use it for split tests mostly. For basic analytics I use my own server-side script at the moment. Some people would also recommend UseFathom or Plausible, they do not have free plan but great products and teams.
