We tell you the truth.
Our review process
1
We test the product
Every software review is based on actual use — free trial, paid account, or extended testing. Franchise reviews are based on FDD analysis, operator interviews, and financial disclosure review.
2
We score 6 categories
Every review scores the product on ease of use, value for money, core features, support quality, integrations, and long-term scalability. Each scored 1-10.
3
We write the verdict first
Before writing the article, we write the verdict. One paragraph. What it is, who should buy it, who shouldn't, and what the alternative is. This is always the first thing you see.
4
We include the cons
Every review includes what doesn't work. A review with no cons isn't a review — it's an ad. We document every limitation we find before we publish.
5
We update regularly
Pricing changes. Software improves. Franchises open and close. Every review is dated and updated when material information changes.
