How we pick
- 1
We verify pricing from the vendor page.
Every price we publish is checked against the vendor's own pricing page, not a stale roundup.
- 2
We say who a tool is NOT for.
Every tool fails somebody. If it's wrong for your size or workflow, we say so plainly.
- 3
We date every review.
You'll always see when a review was written and last checked, so you know it's current.
- 4
We disclose affiliate relationships.
When a link pays us a commission, we tell you. It never changes the verdict.
Who it’s for — and not for
For
Owners and operators of 1–20 person service businesses: agencies, consultancies, coaches, and local professional firms choosing the software that runs their operations.
Not for
Enterprise buyers, ecommerce-only stores, or anyone looking for construction software, generic AI tool directories, or health, finance, or legal advice. That’s not what we do.
