### Hey, Sumo-ling!

AppSumo has a lot of great software. And the #1 question we get from new folks is “Where do I start?” (The #2 question we get is “What’s with all the tacos?”)

So we made it easy. We tracked the top five tools other Sumo-lings grabbed when they started out and put them in [this collection](https://appsumo.com/collections/top-tools-to-get-started/?content=this+collection&_kx=CgQAPBid8RN-5AXejoPV9816b7Xge2omAqK84MhF_45nB5LgNyOOXDodX2kTfBkF.Ktp4ZG). 

Cut expensive subscriptions, level up your business, and get more done in less time.
