          How we test

          How we review business software tools

          FULL METHOD →

          Same test for every tool

          Every tool in a category gets the same brief, data or scenario, so the results compare directly.

          Paid, dated tests

          We sign up like a customer, pay for the plan we test and show the test dates and price on every review.

          Users checked too

          We sum up what users report on Trustpilot and other review sites next to our own results.

          Make your case

          Think we got a review wrong?

          If you use a tool we reviewed, or work for the company, email us with what you saw. We'll look at the evidence and update the review if it changes our findings.

          Want your company reviewed?

          Send us your product, website and the category it fits. We'll test it the same way as every other tool. It's free, and we can't promise a date or a score.
