Helping businesses choose software with transparent comparisons

An independently maintained guide to 56 business software tools. Every figure here carries the source it came from and the date it was checked — or it is labelled unverified, so you know which is which.

How we research and compare software

Record what vendors publish

Pricing, plan structures, free-tier terms and feature summaries are taken from vendors' own pages. That makes them accurate about what a vendor claims, which is not the same as accurate about the product.

Attach a source and a date

A figure counts as verified only when someone read it off a named page on a known date, and the link is shown next to it. Anything without that is marked unverified rather than quietly presented as fact.

Keep third-party ratings separate

G2, Capterra and ProductHunt scores stay attributed to those platforms. They are never blended into a house score — a single averaged number out of five looks authoritative and means very little.

Publish analysis only when written

Comparison and filtered pages are assembled automatically and say so. They become published analysis only when a person has written and signed one — which is why there are far fewer of those than there are products.

  • Trello vs Asana: the free tier decides this more often than the features do

    Trello is a board. Asana is a work-tracking system that also renders boards. That sounds like a matter of taste and turns out to be structural: Trello asks what stage a piece of work is at, Asana asks who owns it, when it is due, and what it rolls up to. Where the two actually diverge for a small team, though, is the free tier. Asana lets two people collaborate for free. Trello lets ten. If your team is between three and ten people and you were planning to start without paying, that is the whole comparison — everything below is about what happens afterwards.

  • Make vs Zapier: the unit you are billed in matters more than the price

    Zapier bills you per task. Make bills you per operation. Those words look interchangeable and are not: a task is roughly one action Zapier completes for you, while an operation is roughly one module Make executes — and a single workflow that does one useful thing can consume several. That means the cheaper headline can be the more expensive product depending on the shape of your automations, and no amount of comparing $19.99 to $9 will tell you which. What follows is how to work out your own answer, and where each product stops being the right tool regardless of price.

  • Plausible vs Google Analytics: what you actually trade away

    Google Analytics is free and Plausible is not, so on price the comparison looks settled before it starts. It isn't, because the two products are answering different questions. Google Analytics 4 is an event pipeline built to feed Google's advertising products, and it is priced accordingly — the money comes from elsewhere. Plausible is a page-and-referrer counter you pay for directly. If your reporting needs stop at 'which posts get read and who sends traffic', the free product is heavier than the job requires and you will spend real time on it. If you run paid acquisition and need audiences flowing into Google Ads, Plausible does not have a story for you at all.

  • Notion vs monday.com: a blank page against a system of record

    Notion is a document tool that grew databases. monday.com is a work-tracking system that grew documents. That origin still shows in both, and it decides which one suits you more reliably than any feature list. Notion rewards teams with someone willing to design and maintain the structure; without that person it degrades into a wiki nobody trusts. monday.com arrives with opinions about boards, statuses and automations, which is exactly what you want if you have no appetite to invent them and exactly what frustrates you if your process does not fit the shape.

How we make money

At the moment, we don't. There are no affiliate links on this site, no commissions, and no sponsored or paid placements. Outbound links go to vendors' own pages with nothing attached to them.

The intention is to carry display advertising through Google AdSense. That has not been approved and no ad units are being served. When it changes, the disclosure page is updated first, and any advertising stays labelled and visually separate from editorial content.

Where this guide currently stands

Of 56 products recorded, 11 carry at least one figure with a source and a check date. The remaining 45 do not, and every figure on those pages is marked unverified.

That is a real limitation rather than a soft launch caveat, and the methodology page lists exactly what needs fixing. If you spot something wrong, send a correction — a link to the right source is the fastest way to get it changed.
