Comparison
Search for a product by name, or add tools to the tray as you browse. Once you have two, the comparison is built from the same fields for both: what each does, what each costs, and which platforms each runs on.
Nothing selected yet. Pick one of the comparisons below, add a product from any listing card, or start from a category.
How to compare software
The standard comparison is two columns of ticks. It looks authoritative and decides nothing, because a tick says a feature exists and not whether it is any good, and the tool with more ticks is usually just the tool with more marketing. Every product in a mature category has calendars, integrations and an API. None of that separates them.
What separates them is where each one is weak. A comparison worth reading names the thing each tool is bad at, because that is what you will be living with, and it is the half neither vendor will write. Every comparison here does that on both sides, on the same fields, so the two are described in the same terms rather than in the terms each markets itself in.
Price needs the same treatment. Two tools at the same headline number are a different purchase if one bills per seat, and the tier carrying single sign-on or an audit log is usually two above the one being advertised. A comparison that stops at the entry price has compared the cheapest version of each thing, which is not what either of you will end up running.
The last question is the one people skip: what does leaving cost? A tool you can export cleanly from is a reversible decision. One that holds your data in a shape nothing else reads is a permanent one, and it should be judged as such while choosing rather than two years later.
Something missing here?
Anyone can submit a tool. A person reads every submission, checks the pricing against the vendor’s own page, and nothing is published until it passes.
