About us and how we compare

Where the facts come from

  • Prices come from each vendor's public pricing page. We record the date we read it next to every figure, and re-check every vendor monthly.
  • Features (QuickBooks sync, online booking, financing and so on) come from the vendor's own feature and integration pages, linked next to each cell.
  • Search demand and what trades ask about comes from keyword data, so we write about the questions people actually search.

What we don't do

  • No star ratings or scores. We don't have a lab, and a number out of 10 would be made up.
  • No fake reviews, testimonials or "our team tested 40 apps" claims.
  • Where we haven't used a product ourselves, we say so and stick to published facts.

How we pick a recommendation

  1. Does it serve the trade? (Recurring service work, dispatch, price book, the jobs that trade actually does.)
  2. Is it sold in your country, in your currency, with your accounting package?
  3. What does it cost at your team size, on the vendor's published price?
  4. What does the vendor say it can't do, or keep for higher tiers?
