10 Best Software Review Sites [2024]

The number of reviews isn’t the only thing that matters for software review sites. 

While the number of reviews is an imperfect metric for a review site, it can serve as a starting point to understand where software reviewers are writing reviews. Also, Google highly values user-generated content, so a high quantity of it on a site tends to be rewarded in search results. 

Some review sites, like TrustRadius and PeerSpot, prioritize quality over quantity. They aim for longer-form reviews: TrustRadius averages 400 words per review,  and  PeerSpot  averages 600 words per review.

Here’s a site-by-site overview of the top 10 software review sites for B2B.

Founded (year):  2012

Origin story:  G2 (formerly G2 Crowd) is on a mission to consumerize business software reviews. They started by asking the question, “ Why is it easier to get unbiased information about a $100 hotel room than a $100,000 piece of software? ”

Overview:  In 2014, G2 raised a seed round of funding to become “Yelp for Software” – the  80-second explainer video  created at that time still does an excellent job of explaining why review sites like G2 matter for B2B software buyers and sellers. G2 positions itself as the solution to the problem of purchasing decisions being overly reliant on analyst recommendations. Today, it is a leading site for software reviews. 

Ideal for:  SaaS vendors in any category.

Categories (Number Of):  There are more than  1,760 categories . To review all current categories, see the  G2 categories pages . 

Reviews (Number Of) : 2,454,600+ reviews on G2, as of January 2024, per G2’s homepage.

Products Listed (Number Of):  150,000+ products and services listed  (as per G2’s  Q4 2023 State of Software report .)

Visitors (Number Of):  80 million+ software buyers per year (as per G2’s Q4 2023 State of Software report.)

Default method for review sorting:  Unlike the Google-inspired auction sorting of some other review sites, G2 is proud that its default sort is by the “G2 score”, which considers the best reviews based on its score algorithm. The G2 score includes recency of the review, amount of feedback provided in the review, attribution (i.e. whether the reviewer kept their name and company public), whether the reviewer is a current user of the solution (i.e. included a screenshot), and community engagement with the review.

Methodology:  G2 Research Methodology covers G2’s scoring methodology, categorizations, and other topics.

Review length:  Like other review sites, G2 tries to strike the right balance in review length, short enough to generate high volumes of reviews but long enough to provide more information than a testimonial. Their average review length is undisclosed.

Reviews as a Service (RaaS) option:  G2 offers G2 Managed Review Campaign w/Gift Cards to customers with a paid account. Gift card budgets range from $500 to $1,000, depending on your chosen plan.

Monetization Methods:  G2 monetizes its offering by selling buyer intent  data to listed vendors (among a few other offerings).

Blog:  G2 blog

Wayback Look :  G2’s website in Nov 2012 .

Extra Info:  Since 2017, G2 has partnered with LinkedIn, enabling visitors to filter reviews based on their first-tier LinkedIn contacts to see what their most trusted peers say about the software.

If you’re like me and you’ve ever wondered what’s with the name (G2), apparently it’s inspired by US army staff categories, in which G-2 refers to intelligence staff (whereas G-1 is for personnel, G-3 for operations, etc.). 

Vendor example:  HubSpot (an All-In-One Platform For Marketing, Sales, and Customer Service) is a master of leveraging reviews. Across the web, HubSpot boosts its online reputation with reviews and many awards from its reviews. 

G2 plays a central role in this for HubSpot.  HubSpot’s many achievements on G2 include leading dozens of categories across HubSpot’s four product lines (Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, CMS Hub, and Service Hub) and being named #2 Best Global Seller for 2021 in the G2 Best of Software Awards. HubSpot is the lead G2 customer success story featured prominently on G2’s homepage (see image).

HubSpot uses G2 badges as social proof across the HubSpot site, as seen in this example on the HubSpot Marketing Hub page.

Given G2’s position in the market, many other software vendors leverage G2 reviews. 

Here’s one more example: 

• Leadfeeder  (B2B website visitor tracking tool) uses G2 badges in the hero section on their homepage to support their call-to-action (“Show me my leads,” which leads to a 14-day free trial).

Gartner Digital Markets: Capterra, GetApp, and SoftwareAdvice

Founded (year):  2018

Origin story:  Formed in 2018 (at least that’s the first recording of the Gartner Digital Markets site on Wayback Machine ), Gartner Digital Markets is now a well-established trio of B2B software review sites under one umbrella, “Gartner Digital Markets.” Gartner’s “historical  position as a trusted technology consultant and advisor ” served as a foundation to create Gartner Digital Markets by acquiring Capterra, GetApp, and Software Advice.

Overview: Gartner Digital Markets has three software review site brands: Capterra, GetApp, and Software Advice. These software review sites have enabled Gartner to strengthen its position in the market as a trusted source of information for buyers. Gartner said, “ By acquiring Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice , we now equip the millions of buyers who visit these sites every month with the unbiased information they need to make great purchasing decisions.”

Ideal for:  Small and medium businesses.

Categories (Number Of):  1,100 distinct software categories

Reviews (Number Of):  2,000,000+ as of January 2024.

Products Listed (Number Of):   50,000+  as of  January 2024 .

Visitors (Number Of):  9M+ monthly visits: 5.1M on Capterra (56%), 2.5M on Software Advice (28%), and 1.4M GetApp (16%).

Default method for review sorting:  Reviews impact organic vendor listing ranks, listed below the paid vendor listings, much like Google’s search engine results page (with paid ad results showing first and then ranked organic results).

Methodology:  See the  Gartner Digital Markets Research Reports page , which has the methodologies of each of their review sites. 

Review length:  Gartner Digital Market reviews tend to be shorter-form, testimonial-like in their length (and a review on one Gartner Digital Market review site is listed on all three of their review sites). 

Reviews as a Service (RaaS) option:   In an effort mutually beneficial to Gartner Digital Markets and its listed vendors,  they offer gift cards to incentivize reviewers if you use their free Reviews as a Service (RaaS) . 

Monetization Methods:   Gartner Digital Markets offers a pay-per-click model for all three sites and a pay-per-lead model in some cases (depending on the category and website (Software Advice). They are also offering buyer intent content solutions (such as competitive comparison reports and review reports).

About:   About Gartner Digital Markets

Blog:  Gartner Digital Markets Insights  page

Wayback Look:  Here’s a look at  Gartner Digital Market’s website in Nov 2018  (the earliest site recording).

Extra Info:  See the  Gartner Digital Markets Research Calendar  for important information on when they announce their award winners – Capterra Shortlists, Software Advice FrontRunners, and GetApp Category Leaders.

Vendor example:  Favro (Project Collaboration Software) Founder & CEO Patric Palm made a LinkedIn post on his company page about Favro earning badges on each of the Gartner Digital Markets review sites. 

Founded (year):  1999

Origin story:  Capterra has a particularly interesting history with reviews. When it started in 1999, it was an online business directory for software (you can  see what this looked like  back in its early years). Then in 2007, the question arose of whether to add user reviews to the site –  one founder was for adding user reviews, and the other was against  it. The way the story goes, buyers on Capterra wanted user reviews, but many vendors did not. Reviews was the most popular feature request made by buyers to Capterra. But when Capterra surveyed their 1,000 paying vendors, half of them were worried about negative reviews. There was concern that negative reviews would turn away sellers from using Capterra. If Capterra were to add user reviews, they would ask reviewers to provide pros and cons for balanced reviews and prohibit anonymous reviews* to avoid fake reviews. After a debate that lasted three months, they ultimately decided to add user reviews to the site, and the rest is history ( Gartner acquired Capterra for $206.2 million in 2015 ).

*Capterra permits anonymous reviews in a sense. Reviewers can post reviews anonymously, but for the review to be published, they must submit information on who they are to Capterra for verification to avoid fake reviews. This approach to anonymously is standard practice for B2B software review sites. 

Overview:   In their words:  “Capterra supports business buyers who seek to help their organization grow but have limited time to become technology experts . Capterra provides visitors with a comprehensive view of the software market to quickly assess the solutions that are best suited for their personalized needs.”

Ideal for:   Small-business buyers seeking software solutions in specific categories.

Categories (Number Of):   800+ categories

Reviews (Number Of): 2,000,000+ * (*A review on Gartner Digital Markets (GDM) site applies across all three of their sites: Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp. Therefore, the review count for each site is the same for each site.)

Products Listed (Number Of):   50,000+

Visitors (Number Of):   5.1M on Capterra (56% of Gartner Digital Markets visitors)

Default method for review sorting:  The default listing is Sponsored Vendors. Vendors bid for listing placement on Capterra category pages. This option sorts the directory by those bids, highest to lowest. Vendors who bid for placement have an orange “Visit Website” button on their listing. Below the lowest bidder is the non-bidding vendors. You can tell which listings are non-bidding by the call to action button: the blue buttons lead a visitor onsite to the vendor’s Capterra profile page. After all sponsored vendors, non-bidding vendors are ranked from most reviews to least reviews. The alternative ranking option is Highest Rated. 

On product pages,  Reviews are by default sorted by Most Helpful to software buyers, driven by their proprietary algorithm . 

Methodology:   See the  methodology for the Capterra Shortlist awards .

Review length:   Capterra reviews tend to be shorter-form, testimonial-like in length (and a review on one Gartner Digital Market review site is listed on all three of their review sites). 

Reviews as a Service (RaaS) option:   In an effort mutually beneficial to Gartner Digital Markets and its listed vendors, they offer gift cards to incentivize reviewers if you use their free Reviews as a Service (RaaS) . 

Monetization Methods:  Capterra’s core monetization model is pay-per-click, like Google search ads. Vendors bid in an auction to rank higher on category pages to get more clicks to their landing page (as well as more impressions as a “top” vendor listed higher on the page). They have recently added buyer intent as another monetization lever (and paid content options for reports with data and information from reviews on their sites).

Wayback Look:   Here’s one of the first Wayback Machine recordings of  Capterra’s website when it added user reviews in Nov 2011 (Marketing Automation Software category example).

Extra Info:   Capterra is starting to add grids to some of its categories (same as G2: rating score (satisfaction score) on the X-axis and popularity score (market presence) on the Y-axis. They’re calling it the Capterra Shortlist (renaming their Capterra Top 20 and mapping vendors on the familiar 2×2 grid). Here’s an example of a Capterra Shortlist for Project Management Software .

Vendor example:   Teamwork (Project Collaboration Software) made the 2021 Capterra Shortlist for Workflow Management Software and shared the news on LinkedIn. Instead of a link to a blog post or press release that speaks to the achievement, they opted for a call-to-action to start a free 30-day trial.

Founded (year):   2005

Origin story:   Software Advice Founder Don Fornes shared the  origin story  on the Mixergy podcast. Before Software Advice, Don worked with some investors to find software companies to acquire and build up. After doing this for a year, he came to the realize:

“Gee. I’ve done all this research on niche software markets, and there is no great resource out there on the web where you can research these markets and these products. Someone needs to build this. There’s Gartner and Forrester for the Fortune 500 or the Fortune 1000, but no one is serving the small, midsize business market. I thought it wouldn’t take a lot of capital; it’s something I could bootstrap… So I got working on this idea (Software Advice).”

In 2006, Software Advice launched its site, focusing on software for the construction industry. Then in 2009, driven by a stimulus bill to subsidize the adoption of electronic medical records, they expanded to software for the medical industry. Medical quickly became 60% of their business, which helped grow the business and fund their growth to diversify into other software markets. In 2014,  Gartner (Digital Markets) acquired Software Advice . 

Overview:   Software Advice is for busy buyers who prefer interaction with an advisor for one-on-one, tailored support. It differs from other review sites in that the experience isn’t entirely self-guided by the visitor but instead offers free phone consultations with software advisors to help guide buyers. 

Ideal for:   Software buyers at small and medium-sized businesses who would like someone to expedite the exploratory part of the buying process by narrowing the software options based on the buyer’s needs.

Categories (Number Of):  Today, Software Advice has  over 900 software categories , covering a wide array of industry-specific software and beyond (such as Marketing Software and 19 sub-categories, all of which are not industry-specific.)

Reviews (Number Of):  2,000,000+* (*A review on Gartner Digital Markets (GDM) site applies across all three of their sites: Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp. Therefore, the review count for each site is the same.

Products Listed (Number Of):  N/A; There are 50,000+ software vendors listed across all three Gartner Digital Markets sites.

Visitors (Number Of):  2.5M on Software Advice (28%)

Default method for review sorting:   Sponsored (by highest bidder), followed by non-sponsored listings (by number of reviews). There are four sort options in more popular categories. One to note is “# recommendations.” Software Advice provides phone consultations to buyers and makes vendor recommendations (and Software Advice passes them on to vendors as leads).

Methodology:   See the  Software Advice Front Runners Methodology .

Review length:   Capterra reviews tend to be shorter-form, testimonial-like in their length (and a review on one Gartner Digital Market review site is listed on all three of their review sites). 

Monetization Methods:   Their primary method is  pay-per-lead . They also offer pay-per-click.

About:    See the  about Software Advice page .

Blog:   See the  Software Advice resources and articles .

Wayback Look:   Here’s one of the first Wayback Machine recordings of Software Advice’s website in October 2007  (illustrating their initial focus on industry software like Construction Software, Medical Software, and Retail Software).

Extra Info:  In 2012, I got my start in software as a Sales Development Representative at Eloqua, a leading Marketing Automation Platform. In that role, I received Software Advice leads first-hand and I found it to be a top lead source. Software Advice leads came pre-qualified and recommended by a third-party advisor, with a buyer process initiated by the buyer. Software Advice covered the Marketing Automation space well; buyers came well-informed to Eloqua from Software Advice.

Vendor example:  Thryv (CRM and Marketing Automation Software) was named to Software Advice’s FrontRunners list for Top Campaign Management Software and used the opportunity to write a blog post on it.

Before GetApp, Christophe Primault, founder of GetApp, was running a SaaS startup in a niche space and was struggling to find a way to reach his audience. As he told it on the Mixergy podcast , “So, I already thought to myself there’s a problem. I’ve got a niche product, but I know people need it and will probably want to buy it, but they can’t find me, and I can’t find them. I need to find a newer way to match providers of cloud-based solutions with companies out there, specifically small and medium businesses. It’s basically how the idea started.”

Overview:  GetApp supports software-savvy buyers who understand the importance of technology to grow their business .

One way it differs from other software review sites is that GetApp offers recommendations based on your profile and previous interactions on the site. To get your GetApp recommendations, join their community, tell them your business and industry’s size, select the apps you use today, and see what their recommendation engine suggests. These recommendations work particularly well for small-business owners who want to understand the software they should use for their business.

Ideal for:  For tech-savvy buyers interested in evaluating key product features for small and medium-sized businesses.

Categories (Number Of):  850+ categories

Products Listed (Number Of):  30,000+ software profiles

Visitors (Number Of): 1.8M GetApp (16% of Gartner Digital Markets visitors).

Default method for review sorting:  Sponsored (like on Capterra) by the highest bidder. Sponsored results show a ‘Visit Website’ button. Unpaid results display a ‘Learn More’ button. 

One difference from Capterra and other sites is that GetApp has an additional “most relevant” sort option, personalized based on your previous interactions on the site.

Methodology:  See the GetApp Category Leaders methodology .

Review length:  Capterra reviews tend to be shorter-form, testimonial-like (and a review on one Gartner Digital Market review site is listed on all three of their review sites). 

Reviews as a Service (RaaS) option:   In an effort mutually beneficial to Gartner Digital Markets and its listed vendors, they offer gift cards to incentivize reviewers if you use their free Reviews as a Service (RaaS) . 

Monetization Methods: Same as Capterra’s: the core monetization model is pay-per-click, like in Google search ads: vendors bid in an auction to rank higher on category pages so that they will get more clicks to their landing page (as well as more impressions as a “top” vendor that is listed higher on the page).

Wayback Look: Here’s the first Wayback Machine recording of GetApp’s website with user reviews in Mar 2010 (Marketing Automation Software category example).

Vendor example:  Elementor (Website Builder Software) was named a GetApp Category Leader in Landing Page software and tweeted about it with a delightful design that plays with the diamond-shaped award—more on Elementor Pro here .

Founded (year):   2015

Origin story:   Gartner is one of the most trusted sources of information for technology buyers. Historically, Gartner has provided buyers with trusted information in analyst research and recommendations. With Gartner Peer Insights, they added user reviews. 

In Gartner’s Peer Reviews launch announcement, they said, “In our research on influencers,  peer reviews continues to be one of the more significant buying influences .” They also added:

“Gartner doesn’t have (and never had) an “exclusive” here (as an information source for B2B buyers). Yes, we are very influential for many decisions, but we are not alone. There are other analysts, academic experts, associations, reporters, and similar influencers that buyers look to for guidance. Customers and peers are a key part of that mix. It is all about finding trusted sources to build confidence in decisions.”

Overview:   With Gartner Peer Insights, Gartner has added user reviews to the information they provide to buyers in the world’s largest companies – regardless of whether they are paid Gartner customers or not. 

They aim to have reviews that go “ beyond product features and capabilities to include coverage of elements of the overall customer experience, including discussion of the buying and support experience . These are key elements of buying decisions that can be as important as the product.” 

Any vendor can list on Gartner Peer Insights that meets this one criterion: ”You must be an IT service provider with mid to large scale enterprise customers.” While Gartner Peer Insights doesn’t appear to define mid to large-size enterprise customers, Gartner defines midsize enterprises as  “those organizations that have between $50 million and $1 billion in annual revenues and/or 100 to 1000 employees .”

Ideal for:  Enterprise software buyers  

Categories (Number Of):   495+ categories

Reviews (Number Of):  595,000+ reviews

Products Listed (Number Of): 20,000+ products

Visitors (Number Of):   Undisclosed

Default method for review sorting:  Number of ratings (the alternative sort option is by average rating). 

Methodology:   See the  Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer Methodologies .

Review length:   unknown

Reviews as a Service (RaaS) option:   Gartner does not offer reviews as a service. To encourage more vendors to generate user reviews on Gartner Peer Insights, Gartner is currently offering  50 free gift cards for sourcing reviews  to qualified new account registrations. 

Monetization Methods:   Gartner has not directly monetized Peer Insights. They do not offer any paid services. Peer Insights is a free platform for vendors regardless of any separate Gartner contract.

The indirect monetization of Peer Insights comes through review data and web visitors that the reviews attract.  Gartner’s Magic Quadrant  is a report that software vendors license to distribute.

Wayback Look:   Here’s the first Wayback Machine recording of the  Gartner Peer Insights website in August 2015  (“Enterprise IT Software and Services Reviews by IT Professionals”).

Vendor example: Rubrik was recognized by Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice award for the Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software category. Rubrik wrote a blog post on it to share the recognition. In it, they said the award “comes on the heels of being named a “Top Rated Provider” in Data Security by TrustRadius ” further strengthening the achievement.  

Founded (year):   2012

Origin story:  Vinay Bhagat, Founder of TrustRadius, had two personal experiences responsible for creating  TrustRadius . The first experience was a B2C purchase that unsurprisingly highlighted the value of reviews.

“It was December 2011. I was shopping for a gift for my wife, a coffee machine, so I went to Williams-Sonoma. The salesperson recommended one of the in-stock products, but I didn’t fully trust their advice. I talked to a friend who recommended a brand called Jura. I searched online for reviews and stumbled across a site called CoffeeGeek which had amazingly thorough reviews. They affirmed his recommendation and gave me the confidence to buy.”

The second experience was with his B2B software purchases. At the time (in 2011), as a founder at a 450-person SaaS company, he bought “a lot” of software, always found it challenging, and sometimes made the wrong choice and had to switch. 

Then Vinay asked himself, why isn’t there a CoffeeGeek (review site) for B2B software? And so, TrustRadius was born.

Overview:   TrustRadius focuses on creating in-depth user reviews for software buyers, as they “ optimize for content quality and data integrity .” It takes an SEO-driven, 100% organic approach to drive highly relevant traffic to its site. 

Ideal for:  Buyers at mid-sized and larger companies making more significant purchases and want more in-depth content.

Categories (Number Of):  550+

Reviews (Number Of):  490,000+

Products Listed (Number Of):   Unknown 

Visitors (Number Of):  1M+ Monthly Visitors (54% companies above 1,000 employees)

Default method for review sorting:   Sorted by Most Reviews

Methodology:   See the  TrustRadius methodology

Review length:   More than 400 words per review.

Reviews as a Service (RaaS) option:   TrustRadius offers all vendors a managed or DIY-driven review generation process. They provide a free DIY review Growth Toolkit and a custom product landing page to drive reviews. They also run TrustRadius managed review generation campaigns for software vendors and provide TrustRadius-managed incentives.

Monetization Methods : TrustRadius has three packages: Customer Voice, Ultimate, and Ultimate+. They cover buyer intent data, content licensing, and customizing review questions.

Wayback Look:    Here’s a look at  TrustRadius’s website in Nov 2012 , its founding year.

Vendor example:  Monday.com (Project Management Software) swept the 2022 Best Project Management awards – Best Relationship, Best Feature Set, and Best Value for Price. They shared the news in a Facebook post. 

Origin story:   Ten years ago, Russell Rothstein and Naftali Marcus met up in New York. Russell had booked himself into a hotel that he found on TripAdvisor, and he and Naftali met for hummus and kebab in Hell’s Kitchen (as I understand it, at a restaurant they found on Yelp). Over dinner, as they talked about their work (in enterprise software), they had a burning question on their minds: “isn’t there a better way for enterprise professionals to determine which technology solutions to buy?” They were “struck by the fact that in the age of social networking, enterprises were still buying technology the same old way—that is, with limited access to the opinions of other real users.” And so Russell and Naftali teamed up to build PeerSpot, “a crowdsourced knowledge platform” that would operate “like a Yelp or TripAdvisor for enterprise software.”  

Overview:   PeerSpot is a community-focused review site for enterprise software buyers, particularly Cybersecurity, DevOps, and IT software. There are over 749,000 registered members on PeerSpot. Members of PeerSpot learn from one another’s knowledge of enterprise software. For example, on a peer member profile, you can see their software reviews and what software they use to gauge the relevance of their expertise. There’s also an easy way to message peers in-app. 

PeerSpot also emphasizes its triple-validation process of all reviewers to increase review quality. The triple validation process uses 1) LinkedIn verification, 2) PeerSpot Community Manager check, and 3) Community members flag suspicious accounts and reviews. 

PeerSpot bootstrapped until October 2021, when it raised  $30 million in a Series A . They’re proud to have bootstrapped without relying on venture capital but are now in a position to scale their business even faster.

Ideal for:   Enterprise buyers of Cybersecurity, DevOps, and IT software. PeerSpot defines an enterprise as having at least 1,000 employees or at least $250M in annual revenue. 

Categories (Number Of): Over 700 categories (as of March 2022).

Reviews (Number Of):  Undisclosed. Co-Founder Russell Rothstein said they don’t disclose the number of reviews because it’s “a vanity metric. If you ask enterprise tech buyers, they will say that they prefer a few high quality, in-depth reviews rather than lots of thin reviews.”

Products Listed (Number Of):  Undisclosed

Visitors (Number Of):   3.5 million annual visitors (as of 2021)

Default method for review sorting:   PeerSpot shifted from reviews ordered by review length to a ranking that factors in PeerSpot rating, reviews, views, and comparisons. 

Methodology:   See the  PeerSpot methodology . 

PeerSpot bases its ranking algorithm on a weighted aggregate score, represented by a bar graph (see Auth0 example below), is based on a weighted aggregate score. PeerSpot bases its rankings on five ranking metrics: Average Rating, Reviews, Words/Review, Views, and Comparisons. 

Review length:   PeerSpot takes pride in the “length and quality of our reviews” (Co-Founder Russell Rothstein says their average review is 620 words).

Reviews as a Service (RaaS) option:   PeerSpot does provide a review generation service called  Review Subscription .  It also appears that vendors can run review campaigns with gift card incentives for reviews, based on this example from  Automation Anywhere .

Monetization Method:  PeerSpot offers vendors solutions for two needs: demand generation and content creation . These solutions include buyer intent data, sponsored content options, such as review subscription services (for review generation), PeerPaper™ Reports, and sponsored comparisons (showing up as a (sponsored) option when other relevant products are compared.

Vendor example: Auth0 (Identity Management Platform) has an awards page, and on it, they share the review site awards that they’ve earned, such as a 2021 Peer Award from PeerSpot (then It Central Station). 

Founded (year):   2007

Origin story:   Trustpilot was started to “ empower the e-shopper, by enabling quicker and better-informed e-commerce decisions through the collection of ratings, reviews and media information .” Peter Holten Mühlmann, founder and CEO of Trustpilot, founded the site in Denmark in 2007,  when his parents started shopping online  (presumably, he thought they could use some help to know if the places they were shopping online were trustworthy).

Overview:   Trustpilot is primarily a consumer review website covering many things, from mom-and-pop stores to business services companies to software products. Its mission is to bring consumers and businesses together.

Ideal for:  B2C, though Trustpilot still has relevance in B2B for vendors that service both B2C and B2B. For example, Thinkific (online course software) serves B2C and B2B audiences. It has over 715 reviews on Trustpilot and over 188 reviews on G2. 

Categories (Number Of):   20+ top-level categories, 150+ second-level categories, and thousands of third-level categories (e.g. Electronics & Technology > Internet & Software > Software Vendor).

Reviews (Number Of):   167 million+ reviews

Products Listed (Number Of):  714,000 websites (businesses) reviewed

Visitors (Number Of):   7.8 billion impressions of their “TrustBox” review widgets.

Default method for review sorting:   Ordered by TrustScore and the number of reviews.

Methodology:   See the Trustpilot  TrustScore explained .

Review length:   Unknown.

Reviews as a Service (RaaS) option:   A  free account  allows for up to 100 invitations per month via the Trustpilot Automated Review Invitation Service. The Standard Plan (paid) provides for up to 500 invitations.

Monetization Methods:   Freemium model  with the free plan allows companies to get started on Trustpilot by engaging with customers and showing their company ratings. Companies can upgrade to a paid plan to showcase full reviews in their marketing and generate more reviews. They also have add-on modules to complement their standard paid plan.

Wayback Look:   Here’s a look at  Trustpilot.com in January 2017  (when it firmly became a review-first website).

Vendor example:  Thinkific  (Online course software) has a section on their pricing page with review site ratings and reviews. With a solution for B2B and B2C, Thinkific has a strong review presence on Trustpilot and G2 and has chosen a Trustpilot widget to show review social proof on their pricing page.

Origin story:   An IT consulting firm, Info-Tech Research Group, created SoftwareReviews. Founded in 1997, Info-Tech is a services company that provides research, diagnostics, and workshops to help IT departments systemically improve. In their 20+ years of experience helping IT departments improve, they found that when it comes to software buying decisions, “…analysts provide valuable assistance when it comes to selection, but accurate insight into the true experience of purchasing and owning software only comes from those who use it.” So in 2015, Info-Tech launched SoftwareReviews to gather reviews from software users.

Overview:   SoftwareReviews content, i.e. reviews, is accessible through membership to Info-Tech Group, their parent company. They have over 30,000 members.

Founded (year):   2020

Origin story:  OMR Reviews in part of OMR , a European digital media company and event producer. 

Founded in 2009 by Philipp Westermeyer, OMR’s first major milestone was in 2011 when it started a conference, “Online Marketing Rockstars.” Since then, it has been developing a blog, podcasts, educational seminars, a jobs portal, industry parties, and a flagship event — OMR Festival , which had over 72,000 visitors in 2022.

In 2020, OMR started building a localized software directory (with user reviews) for the DACH (Germany, Switzerland and Austria) market, according to OMR’s Marketing lead Marvin Müller.

OMR’s Founder, Philipp Westermeyer, had a similar thought to other review site founders: why can I find the best flights and hotels through online search but not the best software?

And so OMR Reviews was born.

Overview:   OMR Reviews is a software review site for the DACH (Germany, Switzerland and Austria) market.

In the DACH Region, OMR Reviews outranks global review sites for some buying keywords, such as “beste crm-software.”

As of 2021, OMR had over 200 employees and an annual turnover (revenue) of €30 million, according to an interview with the OMR Founder. 

Ideal for: OMR Reviews is ideal for vendors targeting buyers in the DACH region. Localized content is considered very important to DACH buyers, as well as localized references. 

It could also be ideal for vendors in a category crowded on a global review site but is a category that OMR ranks highly in search results for DACH buyers. In this scenario, there are better chances to rank high on OMR and grow with them in your category.

Categories (Number Of) :  140+ categories

Reviews (Number Of): 34,000+ reviews

Products Listed (Number Of):  5,000+ products

Visitors (Number Of) :  300,000 monthly visitors

Default method for review sorting : By OMR Score, which combines the number of reviews and the average rating score.

Methodology : See OMR’s Software Rating Guidelines  

Monetization Method(s) : OMR has plans for € 8,000 to 10,000 to receive buyer intent reports, review management, content, and more.

Wayback Look :  Here’s the first recorded Wayback Machine capture of OMR’s site in October 2020 .

Now that you’re up to speed on the top ten B2B software review sites, it’s time to decide which sites matter most to your buyers. 

Which software review sites matter most to you?

To know which review sites to prioritize, I recommend simply putting yourself in the shoes of your buyer by going to Google and searching for “Best + [your category],” or “List of [your category] companies.” The higher a review site appears in the organic search engine results, the more likely your audience will go there to seek reviews on your software and others in your category. Most software buyers find review sites by online search.

Review sites that rank high on the first page of the search results for your key buying search terms matter the most. Backlinko analyzed click-through rate data across 874,929 pages and 5,079,491 search queries and found that  the #1 result in Google’s organic search results has an average CTR of 31.7%  and that the #1 organic result is ten times more likely to receive a click compared to a page in the #10 spot.

You can use these click-through rates by organic position as a rough guide to determine the importance of a given review site to your business. 

You can ignore the paid results in this exercise for the most part. It will mostly be other vendors in your category. But if you see a review site advertising on that search, take it as a signal that they’re building up that category on their site. Sooner or later, you’ll need to generate reviews on their site to get in front of your buyers. 

Some review sites, such as Capterra, use Google Search Ads to drive traffic to their software category pages. I know one B2B Marketing leader who had Google search ads sourcing the majority of his pipeline for years, only to lose that traffic to Capterra once it decided to build up a category page in this Marketer’s space. Through a combination of aggressive bidding and higher quality scores (it’s near impossible for a vendor to compete with an established reviews site on Google), Capterra not only drove up this Marketer’s cost per click in Google search. It also forced his hand to bid on Capterra – at a markup on the Google cost per click – to capture the same leads as he had previously done all through Google Search. 

Getting back to how to prioritize the review sites that matter most for your business, the most straightforward approach to getting started is focusing your limited review resources on the top site (in the Google search result pages for your key buying searches). If there are close second and third-place review sites, I would recommend also considering putting some resources into them to ensure you’re still showing up there. No site has captured all of your buyers, so you want to show up where they look for reviews.

At PartnerStack , “partner management software” is a key buying search term. For this search term, software review sites G2, Capterra, Gartner Peer Insights, and TrustRadius  rank highly in the organic search: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th organic search results, in fact.

Other ways to prioritize software review sites

Another way to find out where to focus your reviews is to research where your competitors, particularly those more established than you, are listed and generate most of their reviews. 

If you find a review site that ranks highly in organic search but doesn’t have many reviews yet, you may have found a low-hanging fruit opportunity to increase your position with relatively few reviews.

One way to show up in more buyer searches on review sites is to go through the “all categories” section, review site by review site, to see which categories are relevant to your brand.  For category fit, ask yourself, are the companies listed in it the ones your Sales team competes against in deals?

Not happy with the category that you are or are not in? You can try to petition the review site to create a new one. Upshot by Influitive shared how Quickbase effectively petitioned G2 to create a new category . As Davin Wilfrid, former Customer Marketing Manager at QuickBase, said, “We then petitioned G2 Crowd to create a new category called “Rapid Application Development” that would include QuickBase and its competitors and place us on a level playing field. We supported our request with analyst reports, customer stories, and information on our competitors. To our delight, it worked!”

If your SaaS product isn’t self-service, you can check if any review sites come up on sales calls. For PartnerStack, we find that G2 comes up on many calls. With Gong call tracking software, we can search for G2 mentions by customers (or prospects), see how many times it comes up (hundreds for us), and dig into the specific calls with mentions. You can see what one of these filtered searches and specific G2 mentions looks like in this screenshot of Gong:

By combining the search result data for your key buying terms with what you hear from prospects on Sales calls, you’ll have a good sense of which review sites to prioritize. 

Reviews for B2C

Where you find reviews is very different in B2B and B2C.

In B2C, more than 50% of B2C reviews are left on Google , followed by Facebook, Yelp, and TripAdvisor.

Based on 2021 data, while the four review sites in B2C have remained the same, buyers say they turn to Google most often, followed by Yelp and TripAdvisor, and then Facebook. 

Beyond the big 4 sites for reviews in B2C, see this Birdeye post on 10 business review sites to know. They also have a comprehensive list of 200 sites with reviews .

Our Top 15 Software Review Websites

Review websites are essential for your business to drive conversions and present your solution to potential clients. Reviews play a crucial role in buyer perception, social proof, and ultimately the final decision to purchase.

Review platforms are a significant factor in getting more eyes on your product. That’s why it’s important to effectively manage and collect reviews for your business on all relevant platforms.

Choosing the Best Review Platform

Ideally, you want to be listed on all review platforms, but it makes sense to target your efforts on the best websites for your business. Different platforms cater to different audiences, so choosing the right site is crucial.

The right platform will differ for each business based on the target audience and use case, but the following factors are important for everyone to consider.

Volume of Traffic

The review website should have a respectable amount of traffic. Some may think directing customers to a more niche or obscure review site will help them rank, but we don’t recommend this.

It won’t generate many leads if your business is rated highly on a low-traffic review site—instead, direct reviews to websites where potential customers will actually see you.

Select a Platform That Caters to Your Business

Different review platforms focus on different niches, so you must choose the one most relevant to your business. Do some research on where your competitors are listed and where they extract the most value.

• Brick and mortar stores: Facebook and Google My Business are the most important.
• B2B & SaaS companies: Capterra, G2, and TrustRadius have the most value.
• Restaurants: Yelp and TripAdvisor are the best.

Focusing on the right platform will positively impact your reviews, generate new leads, and improve the reputation of your business.

Review Verification Mechanism and Quality of Reviews

Any solid software review website will have a good moderation mechanism that filters out fraudulent reviews. It’s important to ensure the reviews you’re getting are from actual, verified users. Otherwise, you risk losing consumer trust and social reputation.

Sites like Capterra, G2, and TrustRadius have very high review standards. TrustRadius averages more than 400 words per review. These long-form reviews provide great insight into what a product does well and can improve. Longer reviews are a constructive way to improve your product and increase conversion.

Avoid review platforms that concentrate on getting as many reviews as possible. Instead, focus on quality over quantity and build a catalog of legitimate reviews.

Open vs. Closed Review Platforms

There are two basic types of review platforms: open and closed. Both have pros and cons that are important to consider when deciding which platforms are most relevant to you.

Closed Review Platforms

On closed review platforms, only verified customers can post reviews.

Some advantages of closed review platforms are:

• Authenticity: When you get reviews on a closed platform, you know that the person is a legitimate customer and not a bot or competitor leaving a negative review.
• Low volume of fake reviews: The amount of fake reviews is generally very low on a closed platform. Users leaving a review for your business have been verified and have actually purchased your product. Review vetting reassures both you and your potential customers.

Open Review Platforms

On open review platforms, anyone can post a review without being verified.

Some advantages of open review platforms are:

• High volume of reviews: Since reviews are not verified on an open platform, the pool of potential reviewers is much larger. Also, reviews post very quickly.
• Customers can easily post: It’s much easier and faster for customers to leave reviews on an open platform. Many people are unwilling to put in the time and effort to meet the high standards of closed platforms. Asking customers for a review on an open platform makes it much more manageable.

Our Top 15 Review Platforms for Software

#1 capterra: best for b2b software companies looking for leads.

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 2.9M

Capterra is the must-have platform for B2B software. It’s free to appear on the platform, and any user can leave a review.

Capterra has a free plan, but in reality, the platform is pay-to-play. Capterra has a bidding system similar to Google Ads. The more you pay, the higher you rank, and the more leads and clicks you get. Ranking organically takes a lot of time and positive reviews.

Capterra is part of the Gartner network, including Software Advice and GetApp. All three of these platforms have similar content but differ in terms of UI/UX. Your customer reviews may appear on GetApp or Software Advice , though Capterra is the largest of the three.

Get your Capterra reviews to Slack with Reviewflowz.

#2 G2: Best for Enterprise B2B Companies

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 5.3M

G2 is very similar to Capterra but with a better user experience.

The key to success on G2 is to get reviews regularly. The recency of reviews primarily affects your ranking, so it’s crucial to feed positive reviews on a flow basis instead of all at once.

You can’t run ad campaigns on G2 . Instead, its expensive subscription model lets your profile button link to a form hosted on G2 instead of your site. The price is steep for what it offers.

Get your G2 reviews to Slack with Reviewflowz.

#3 TrustRadius: Best for Finding Tools You Need

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 1.0M

TrustRadius is similar to Capterra and G2 but with much lower traffic. It does not have subscriptions or paid ads, so reviews are organic.

TrustRadius verifies each user through their LinkedIn account, which lets people see what software and services their connections are reviewing. The platform vets for quality and legitimacy.

There are also buying guides for categories like A/B testing tools and data integration. Being featured is a huge plus for you and potential customers because it can help your product get more exposure and organic traffic.

Get your Trustradius reviews to Slack with Reviewflowz.

#4 Glassdoor: Best for Employer Branding

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 51.0M

Glassdoor focuses on company reviews from employees, contractors, and other stakeholders. Reviews are more qualitative than quantitative. They often highlight employee opinions on a company’s internal culture, the job interview process, etc.

Glassdoor is useful for employer branding because it features highly-rated companies to site visitors. Also, employers can use reviews to gather feedback from current and former employees on what can be improved.

#5 Google My Business: Best for Local Brick & Mortar Businesses

Google My Business is a valuable way for local brick & mortar businesses to generate leads and reviews. Google My Business accounts often appear on the knowledge panel on the right side of your Google search results. Things like business hours, location, and reviews are displayed.

If your business appears on the knowledge panel, you’re the dominant result for the keywords searched. Appearing on the knowledge panel is valuable even if you’re not local to potential customers. It builds your brand and contributes to your SERP ranking.

Google My Business reviews also integrate with Google Maps. As a result, reviews help your business rank higher and appear when people search Maps for restaurants, coffee shops, or whatever type of business you own.

Use our Google review bot to get notified for every google review you get.

#6 Trustpilot: Best for Companies Running Google Ads

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 48.8M

Trustpilot is one of the top review aggregators on the market. It’s straightforward for customers to leave reviews on Trustpilot , increasing the pool of potential reviewers compared to Capterra or G2.

Trustpilot’s free plan gives you a profile page to collect reviews. The paid plans offer plenty of campaign automations to generate a steady flow of new reviews proactively.

Trustpilot is Google AdWords certified, meaning Google will source feedback from reviews left on the Trustpilot platform. This is incredibly valuable because it will contribute to the minimum amount of reviews required to get Google snippets to work. Learn more in our review management 101 guide.

Use our free Trustpilot review bot to get notified every time you receive a new review.

#7 AppSumo: Best for Small and Bootstrapped SaaS Companies

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 4.1M

AppSumo is a huge B2B marketplace for SaaS products, courses, templates, and more.

Product profiles are designed to build social proof and foster community. Q&A and review sections allow product owners and users to respond to feedback, ask questions, and discuss use cases. In addition, AppSumo has incentives and rewards for generating a flow of positive reviews, such as newsletter and app collection features.

AppSumo has two possible ways to list your product. You can submit your product to AppSumo’s self-service marketplace or apply for AppSumo Select .

The process for self-publishing is pretty streamlined, and listings remain indefinitely with no listing fee.

AppSumo Select targets more mature products and businesses. Select products will get the white-glove treatment with access to affiliate networks, beta-testing, and launch campaigns– all managed by AppSumo .

#8 Product Hunt: Best for Indie Developers & Makers

Product Hunt is a platform with lots of discoverability potential. It generates daily lists of tools, programs, and apps that reach a large audience of product-loving enthusiasts.

Users can upvote, follow, and leave comments on a product in addition to leaving traditional reviews. These rating elements are visible to site visitors, but an account is required to review and engage with a product page.

Like AppSumo, Product Hunt has a community aspect where users can connect, discuss, and receive reviews and feedback. Overall, it’s a dynamic platform that can generate leads for up-and-coming businesses if leveraged successfully.

#9 Clutch.co: Best for B2B Agencies

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 1.6M

Clutch.co is a B2B marketplace for vendor services. Agencies benefit significantly from this platform because of the personalized, comprehensive business profiles and long-form customer reviews.

Review generation is a big focus of Clutch’s service for agencies since success on the platform relies heavily on verified customer reviews. Staff will even conduct phone interviews with your customers and write the review for your profile.

Clutch offers a free Basic Profile plan that gets you an unlimited review collection and listings on Clutch directories.

#10 Salesforce: Best for Salesforce Apps

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 89.9M

The Salesforce AppExchange is a B2B marketplace targeted at apps that extend and integrate with Salesforce. It’s easy to navigate and is a great way to get organic exposure for your software.

The AppExchange isn’t pay-to-play, so ranking is based primarily on the amount and quality of reviews. There are categories, curated collections, personalized recommendations, and an App Guide that features highly-rated products.

#11 Zapier: Best for Software with Zapier Integrations

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 6.1M

Zapier’s app marketplace isn’t as large as other platforms like WordPress and HubSpot. Users can only access some apps with a Premium plan.

It ranks apps based on popularity. This ranking system means heavyweight app integrations like Twitter, Facebook, and Notion rank the highest.

Reviews are only visible to other Zapier users, making the pool for review generation limited. If you’re looking to build social proof within Zapier’s platform, this is a helpful platform to focus on. If you’re looking to increase lead generation, focus elsewhere.

#12 WordPress: Best for WordPress Plugins

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 263.1M

With over 50,000 WordPress plugins customers can choose from, having a solid collection of reviews will help your product stand out. Only users who have downloaded a plugin can leave a review. Sometimes plugin creators can even embed review CTAs within the WP user dashboard.

The WordPress plugin marketplace is easy to use, has a clean interface, and values all reviews equally regardless of language. The algorithm considers top-rated plugins and the number of active installs when ranking.

Get your WordPress plugin reviews to Slack with Reviewflowz.

#13 Shopify: Best for Shopify Apps

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 58.5M

The Shopify App Store is a powerful lead generation tool. It’s a B2B platform that can boost visibility and build brand trust.

Shopify features apps in several categories like marketing, store design, and “hand-selected” by Shopify staff. It also has a unique feature that curates apps used by featured businesses on their platform.

To leave a review, customers need to have a Shopify store. This makes eligible reviewers a bit harder to come by than on other platforms, but it’s still overall pretty accessible.

Like WordPress, Shopify values reviews in all languages and generally ranks apps based on average rating and number of reviews.

Integrate your Shopify reviews to Slack with Reviewflowz.

#14 HubSpot: Best for HubSpot Apps

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 40.2M

HubSpot is an inbound marketing powerhouse. The app marketplace is a considerable B2B platform that continues to grow.

HubSpot’s marketplace values quality apps and encourages review generation and high-quality leads through the App Partner Program. Listed apps are available to HubSpot’s free users and their paid subscribers, making it a valuable source of potential reviews to tap into.

You can even get your product certified if you have a proven track record of acting quickly to customer feedback. HubSpot-certified apps get more exposure through marketing campaigns, collection features, and blog posts.

#15 Pipedrive: Best for Pipedrive Apps

• Monthly Traffic Estimate ( Source ): 9.4M

The Pipedrive Marketplace has free and paid apps that integrate with Pipedrive’s sales software. Users are verified and have to be Salesforce customers, ensuring high-quality reviews.

There are collections, categories, and home page features of new and trending apps, and it appears that ranking is determined by the number of installs and top-rated reviews. It’s not the most active software review site on this list, but it’s a valuable platform to take advantage of if you offer integrations with Pipedrive .

No other company has a team that understands the software you're considering for your business.

We've published the details of our software review methodology . Each software tool is hand-tested by one of our analysts who specializes in the respective software category. The four criteria that we evaluate are features, usability, pricing, and customer support.

To accomplish our mission – to empower all businesses to successfully adopt technology – it's vital that we publish our research free of charge to small businesses. To support this model, we've established partnerships with some, but not all, of the software companies found on our website.

Top 10 software review sites for 2024

Discover 2024's top 10 software review sites! Get expert insights, user ratings & comparisons to find the best tools for your needs.

Today’s online marketplace presents a veritable ocean of options for those individuals or organizations. These companies are in search of software engineered for their commercial and logistical optimization and must have access to prominent software review sites.

As mere humans, with limited time and mental capacity to devote to the hunt for the perfect product, the task of choosing which software services best suit one’s organizational needs might well be, ironically, in-and-of-itself a further strain on those already stretched limitations. It might be, that is, if not for the plethora of software review sites having already done the leg work of sifting through that ocean for the digital consumer, be it by compiling verified user reviews or by the software comparison sites themselves testing software products on behalf of the global customer.

But with such a sea of software review sites and tech conferences also eying for the same attention, the job of choosing which sites to trust has itself become a burden. How do we know whose opinion is worthy of our trust, which sites take our livelihoods seriously, and which we can confidently disregard as redundant or insufficient?

Allow us to do that leg work for you!

We have trawled the cyber seas, and have selected the 10 best software review & comparison sites for your consumption. Our criteria at WiseStamp for ranking the top 10 software review and software comparison sites will be based on the size of each site’s user base, our judgment as to the credibility of each site , the variety of software each has reviewed, and which sites have proven user engagement.

Final words

1) capterra: the colossus of comparisons.

Capterra, Inc. (Capterra.com) stands out as a premier platform for software reviews in the industry. Established in 1998 by Michael Ortner and Rakesh Chilakapati, it has enjoyed nearly 25 years of growth, earning its position as the big fish in B2B software.

Capterra operates an online directory connecting buyers with business software vendors . Striking a delicate balance between appeasing technology vendors and providing objective analysis to buyers, they took a bold step in 2007 by incorporating user-generated product reviews, despite potential alienation of software vendors. This strategic move demonstrated a commitment to credibility and ultimately benefited vendors with products that withstood user scrutiny.

Ortner’s extroverted business style combined with Chilakapati’s technological acumen has forged a sterling reputation for the company. Operating on a pay-per-click model, Capterra ensures software providers get a verifiable return on investment. Their freemium model, offering limited features, and paid plans with advanced options like lead generation and market research cater to a diverse clientele.

Within a decade of its founding, Capterra earned a spot on Inc. magazine’s top 5000 fastest-growing private companies. By 2007, they boasted a listing of over 10,000 actively advertising software vendors. In 2019, they surpassed one million software reviews, solidifying their standing as an industry leader.

Despite Capterra’s vast success, some criticisms exist. With over 750 software categories, their interface may overwhelm new users. Inconsistencies in review quality may also arise due to the sheer volume of published reviews. However, Capterra’s unmatched reputation, rigorous verification processes, and expert editorial content lend substantial weight to reviews, establishing credibility that remains unrivaled.

Capterra – Top software reviews site

Capterra distinguishes itself with unique features such as detailed comparisons, interactive software maps, and comprehensive buyer’s guides, simplifying the decision-making process. Capterra’s extensive user base, diverse software coverage, insightful comparisons, and valuable expert content position it as the most trusted source for business software reviews. Additionally, Capterra demonstrates responsiveness to customer feedback, further enhancing its credibility.

2) G2: The engaging challenger

G2, a prominent player in the software review sites landscape, stands as a compelling contender against its larger counterpart, Capterra. While its user base is smaller in comparison, it is noteworthy for its significant and rapidly growing community. The emphasis on verified and in-depth reviews adds a layer of credibility to G2, ensuring the quality and trustworthiness of the information provided.

One of G2’s notable strengths lies in its diverse software variety, covering a wide range of categories. Its primary focus on popular business software, especially in the realms of marketing and sales tools, caters to the needs of a broad user base. The unique feature of vibrant user communities fosters active engagement, providing valuable peer-to-peer insights. Additionally, the “Best for” badges highlight software that excels in specific areas, aiding users in making informed decisions.

The platform boasts a user-friendly interface that, coupled with the engaging user community, creates an environment conducive to insightful reviews. G2’s approach to software evaluation allows users to delve into in-depth reviews, contributing to a robust knowledge base. However, it is essential to acknowledge that G2’s software variety, while comprehensive, does not match the extensive range offered by Capterra. Furthermore, the smaller user base may limit the depth of reviews for niche software options.

G2 Pricing:

In terms of pricing, G2 adopts a freemium model with limited features. Paid plans are available, offering additional functionalities such as advanced search and lead generation. This pricing structure provides users with flexibility based on their specific needs and budget constraints.

Established in 2002, G2 has evolved into a major player since its inception. The company’s commitment to a user-centric approach and a focus on peer-to-peer engagement distinguishes it in the competitive landscape. The intuitive search engine, well-defined software categories, and the innovative “Grid” system contribute to G2’s accessibility, making it a user-friendly platform for individuals across varying levels of tech-savviness.

G2 – A Leader in the software review and comparison sites

G2 stands out as a community-driven contender in the software review arena. While it may not match Capterra’s expansive user base and software variety, its unique features, commitment to credibility, and user-centric approach make it a noteworthy alternative for those seeking reliable software insights.

Positioning itself as the friendliest navigator in the turbulent sea of software, GetApp sets itself apart with a sleek interface and intuitive design. Although its user base is smaller compared to industry giants like Capterra and G2, it remains significant and is steadily growing.

GetApp ensures its credibility through verified user reviews and curated software lists, intelligently crafted based on popularity and user preferences. This curation provides users with a reliable starting point in the vast landscape of business software options. While the user base and review depth may not match those of top contenders, GetApp compensates with its emphasis on ease of use and an exceptional user experience.

The platform covers a wide range of popular business software categories, with a focus on ensuring ease of use. Its streamlined interface and intuitive search tools contribute to a user-friendly experience, enabling individuals to quickly find and explore software options tailored to their needs. Personalized software recommendations further simplify the selection process, offering users options aligned with their preferences.

GetApp introduces unique features such as the “GetApp Score,” a metric calculated based on user reviews and software data. This score facilitates a quick comparison of different software options, aiding in the decision-making process. It’s worth noting that while GetApp excels in providing a convenient entry point for software exploration, its user base and review depth don’t reach the extensive levels found in top contenders.

Prospective users can benefit from GetApp’s user-friendly interface, curated software lists, personalized recommendations, and its dedicated focus on enhancing the overall user experience. However, for those requiring in-depth research and a comprehensive understanding of niche software options, the platform may have limitations.

GetApp pricing:

In terms of pricing, GetApp adopts a freemium model with limited features, allowing users to explore the platform without immediate financial commitments. This approach caters to a broad audience, including casual users and businesses seeking initial exploration.

The most most user-friendly software review and comparison site

Ultimately, GetApp stands out as the most user-friendly option, offering individuals a simplified and streamlined approach to navigating the diverse landscape of business software.

The platform employs interactive comparison tools, enabling users to conduct side-by-side analyses of crucial factors such as features, pricing, and user reviews.

One of Software Advice’s notable strengths lies in its provision of expert-written guides and curated software lists categorized by industry and functionality. This strategic approach ensures that users not only have access to comprehensive information but also benefit from insights and recommendations crafted by industry experts. The platform’s commitment to offering expert advice adds a layer of depth to the decision-making process, aiding users in making informed choices.

The interactive comparison tools empower users to conduct thorough evaluations, facilitating a detailed assessment of software options. This approach aligns with Software Advice’s overarching goal of helping users pinpoint the solutions that best align with their specific needs and requirements. However, it is essential to acknowledge that the platform’s user base and review depth fall short of industry leaders. While Software Advice serves as a valuable resource for initial explorations, it may lack the extensive data necessary for users engaging in in-depth research.

Prospective users can benefit from Software Advice’s commitment to expertise, detailed software comparisons, and the convenience of interactive tools. The platform’s focus on providing insights tailored to specific industries and functionalities adds a valuable dimension to the software selection process. Users should be mindful that, given its limitations in user base and review depth, Software Advice is best suited for those in the early stages of software exploration, rather than for those requiring exhaustive research.

Software Advice: Expert-driven approach to software reviews and comparisons

To sum up, Software Advice stands as the expert guide, offering users a comprehensive and expert-driven approach to software evaluations. Its emphasis on detailed comparisons, industry-specific guides, and curated software lists contribute to a robust decision-making process.

5) PCMag: The trusted tech authority

As a revered name in the technology domain, PCMag stands as the trusted tech authority, providing users with reliable software reviews curated by its experienced editorial team. The platform’s commitment to delivering trustworthy insights is underscored by its in-house testing and analysis, which adds an authoritative voice to its evaluations, offering users valuable perspectives on software performance and usability.

PCMag’s distinctive approach centers around in-depth reviews and real-world testing, catering to users who seek expert opinions and comprehensive evaluations of software functionalities. The emphasis on practical, hands-on assessment distinguishes PCMag as a reliable source for those who prioritize insights derived from tangible experiences rather than theoretical considerations.

While PCMag excels in providing detailed assessments of well-known software, its focus on prominent names in the tech industry may inadvertently lead to the oversight of niche options. This focus on widely recognized software solutions could potentially limit the platform’s coverage of lesser-known but innovative alternatives. As a result, users seeking information on specialized or niche software may find PCMag’s reviews less comprehensive.

Limitations:

Another consideration is the limitation of the user base for individual software reviews. The audience for specific software evaluations may be confined, impacting the comprehensiveness of user feedback. This limited user base might restrict the diversity of perspectives and experiences reflected in the reviews, potentially providing a narrower view of a software’s overall performance.

In summary, PCMag stands out as the go-to tech authority, leveraging the expertise of its editorial team and in-house testing to deliver reliable software reviews. Its commitment to in-depth assessments and real-world testing aligns with the needs of users seeking expert opinions. However, users should be mindful of the platform’s focus on well-established software, potentially leading to the oversight of niche options. Additionally, the limited user base for individual software reviews may impact the overall breadth and diversity of feedback.

6) TrustRadius: The quality curator 

Known for prioritizing quality over quantity, TrustRadius has carved out a distinctive space in the software review domain. Although its user base may be smaller than that of Capterra and G2, this limitation proves advantageous by fostering a more discerning community and, consequently, elevating the scrutiny and quality of reviews. TrustRadius stands out for its commitment to authenticity, evident in a rigorous verification process that each review undergoes. This meticulous approach enhances the platform’s credibility, providing users with reliable information.

Similar to G2, TrustRadius employs a “Best For” badge system, highlighting software excellence in specific areas such as ease of use or customer support. This emphasis on key aspects offers valuable insights, aiding users in making well-informed decisions tailored to their specific needs. While the platform may not cover as many software categories as larger counterparts, the depth and trustworthiness of its reviews make it invaluable for discerning users who prioritize quality.

TrustRadius’ smaller user base contributes to its unique value proposition, focusing on a broad range of business software categories, especially enterprise-level solutions. This strategic focus aligns with the needs of businesses seeking comprehensive reviews for software solutions that match their scale and complexity.

In addition to “Best For” badges, the detailed “TrustMap” visualization of software relationships provides valuable context, helping users understand how different solutions compare in the broader landscape. These features, coupled with the platform’s commitment to user experience, establish it as a quality advocate in the software review realm.

Users can leverage TrustRadius’ unmatched review depth and quality, insightful badges, and visualizations to enhance the decision-making process. However, the smaller user base may limit reviews for niche software options, and the emphasis on in-depth evaluations, while valuable, may not suit those seeking quick comparisons.

In terms of pricing, TrustRadius adopts a freemium model with limited features, allowing users to choose plans based on their needs and budget constraints. Paid plans offer additional data and functionalities, including competitive analysis and lead generation, enhancing the platform’s value proposition for businesses seeking comprehensive software insights.

However, it’s important to note that TechRadar’s smaller user base and limited software categories might restrict its reach and coverage.

Software review sites are online platforms that provide user-generated reviews, ratings, and information about various software products and services. These sites help users make informed decisions when selecting software solutions by offering insights into the experiences of other users, as well as expert analysis, comparisons, and recommendations.

Software review sites are important because they: • Provide unbiased, real-world feedback from actual users of the software • Offer expert analysis, comparisons, and recommendations • Help users identify the best software solution for their specific needs and budget • Save time and effort by providing a centralized source of information • Encourage software providers to maintain high-quality products and customer support

To ensure the authenticity of reviews on a software review site, look for the following: • Verification processes: Reputable sites may verify user identities or confirm that reviewers have actually used the software. • Balanced feedback: Genuine reviews often include a product’s positive and negative aspects. • Detailed insights: Authentic reviews typically provide specific details about the user’s experience with the software rather than generic praise or criticism. • Consistent patterns: Look for patterns in the reviews that suggest common strengths or weaknesses in the software.

Yes, some software review sites focus on specific industries or types of software, such as project management, CRM, or marketing automation tools.

While recommendations on software review sites can be helpful, it’s essential to critically evaluate the information provided and consider how it applies to your specific needs.

10 Software Review Sites Every SaaS Should Be On

As a SaaS, you know that reviews are important for your business. Not only do they help new users decide if your product is the right fit for them, but they also give existing customers a way to provide feedback and let you know how you’re doing.

But with so many review sites, it can be tough to figure out which ones are worth your time. To make things easy, we’ve put together a list of the best software review sites every SaaS should be on. Let’s get started.

Why Your SaaS Should Be on Software Review Sites

If you’re running a SaaS business, getting your name on software review sites is essential.

Because potential customers are looking for information about the best software solutions available, they’re more likely to source and trust reviews from respected third-party platforms.

Appearing on these sites can also help improve your search rankings since many are high-authority websites that are well-indexed by Google and result in powerful do-follow backlinks.

If you’re still not convinced, here’s a few key benefits of building a presence on software review sites:

1. Reach More Potential Customers

As we mentioned earlier, people searching for software solutions will likely visit software review sites as part of their due diligence. If you’re not listed on these sites, you’re missing out on valuable exposure to your target market.

2. Get an SEO Boost

Many software review sites are high-authority websites that are well-indexed by search engines. Getting your SaaS listed on these types of sites can help improve your SEO and get you more organic traffic from potential customers searching for the types of solutions you offer. Many of the software review sites in this article offer do-follow backlinks from listings, sometimes even more than one (for pricing pages, product demos, etc). Software review platforms are a key element of SaaS SEO , regardless of the size of your company.

3. Build Trust and Credibility

When potential customers see that your SaaS is listed on respected third-party review sites, it can help build trust and credibility for your brand. This is especially important if you’re a relatively new company just starting to get noticed in the marketplace. Having a healthy number of reviews on your listing will also push you through the ranks, positioning your brand alongside your largest competitors.

4. Get Helpful Feedback

In addition to providing valuable exposure and SEO benefits, appearing on software review sites can also provide helpful feedback from customers and potential customers. These sites usually include user-generated reviews and ratings, so you can get an idea of what people think about your SaaS and what areas you need to improve. You could also use reviews and feedback from these sites as a form of social proof on your landing pages, email marketing campaigns or social media.

Top 10 Software Review Sites SaaS Companies Should Be On

Now that you know how important it is for a SaaS to be on software review sites, you should know which sites are worth the effort. Hundreds of options are available, but only some sites yield significant results.

Below are the ten best software review sites SaaS companies should be on.

Capterra is a great resource website that allows you to compare software products side-by-side. You can read reviews from other users, get pricing information, and see screenshots of the products in action.

What are the common features of review management software?

What are the benefits of review management software, how much does review management software cost, how to choose review management software, common questions to ask before choosing the best review management software.

Response management : Helps manage and respond to customer reviews and feedback on various online platforms where customers leave a review. It tracks and updates you about all the new reviews and allows you to respond to them individually. This helps improve customer satisfaction and build loyalty and trust among them. 

Review monitoring : Automatically monitors all the reviews and categorizes them on the bases of sentiment, rating, and keywords. This categorization allows you to identify trends and patterns in the reviews you get, allowing you to respond to them directly to engage with the customers and address their concerns. 

Review notification : Sends real-time alerts and notifications as and when customers post a new review or feedback about your business, products, or services on review platforms. This allows you to stay on top of your online reputation management strategy and quickly address any concerns mentioned by your customers.

Improved online reputation : With review management software, you can easily track and monitor new reviews and feedback from customers on various online platforms and analyze them to identify their sentiments. The tool also allows you to curate these reviews and display them in the form of badges and widgets on your website and social channels. This display of reviews attracts visitors and makes them trust you on the basis of what your existing customers are saying about you. Moreover, having your business reviewed on multiple online platforms increases your online visibility, which, in turn, has a positive impact on your reputation.

Better local SEO ranking : Getting your products and services reviewed by your customers increases the user-generated content (UGC) of your website. Since search engines give higher value to UGC, these reviews help increase your SEO ranking. Besides, these reviews increase your online visibility and help you get more clicks or website visits, which, in turn, helps increase your website’s authority and click-through rate (CTR) and get a higher SEO ranking.

Higher customer trust : Reviews are your opportunity to have a conversation with your customers. They tell you what you’re doing well, what you can improve, and sometimes, what you should never do again. An online review management solution allows you to immediately respond to the reviews, allowing you to thank the customers for choosing your goods and services and address their concerns, if any. That level of transparency is valuable to customers because they know what to expect and will see that you take feedback seriously. 

Increased conversion rate and sales : As discussed above, review management increases your SEO ranking, which means a higher number of visitors will land on your website. A good online reputation and higher customer satisfaction will act as your social proof, showing those potential customers that other people have had a positive experience with your business and that they can trust you too. The availability of reviews also decreases purchase anxiety, increasing the likelihood that a visitor will make a purchase.

Most review management software products are priced on a “per month” basis, and their entry-level pricing plan ranges from $23 to $124* per month. An enterprise product that’s priced higher may include additional features such as review badge management, multi-channel campaigns, and social sharing.

*The pricing included is for the entry-level/lowest-priced offerings found on vendor websites as of March 15, 2023.

Analyze sentiment analysis capabilities : Sentiment analysis in review management software uses natural language processing (NLP) to automatically identify and analyze the sentiment expressed by customers in their reviews. It analyzes the text of the review to look for keywords such as excellent, fantastic, poor, terrible, and other such words to tag the reviews as positive, negative, or neutral. Once the sentiment analysis is complete, you can analyze the data to infer customers’ opinions about your business and take necessary actions to improve your products and services.

Assess the dashboard of the tool : A dashboard provides a visual representation of your business’s online reputation as it provides a snapshot of key metrics and insights. It converts data, such as the total number of reviews received, average rating, sentiment analysis, review volume, and response rate, into various forms of charts and graphs. This visual representation of data makes it easier for you to read the data and identify trends and patterns to make data-driven decisions to improve your customer experience. 

Check negative feedback management features : Negative feedback management helps you monitor, respond to, and resolve negative reviews and feedback from customers. Using NLP, the tool identifies the negative sentiment of the received feedback and notifies you in real time so that you can respond to such reviews on priority. Some review management software solutions also offer pre-written templates that you can utilize to respond to such feedback in a professional and constructive manner and take the time to resolve customer concerns. 

Look for review badge management options : Review badge management in review management software allows you to display review badges or widgets on your website or social media profiles. You get the option to modify the look and feel of these badges to make them match your branding and website design. These badges can also reflect the most recent reviews from the customers automatically while you still have the option to filter out inappropriate reviews so that they don’t appear on your website or social channels.

Does the tool let you send out review requests? Review requests allow you to request feedback and reviews from your customers via email or text message after they have made a purchase or completed a service offered by your business. You also have the option to automate this process so that the review request is sent to the customer at a specific time. If this is something you can benefit from, check with your vendor if they offer this feature in their tool.

Does the tool support campaign management? Campaign management assists you in creating and managing review campaigns on various platforms with the aim of generating more positive reviews to improve your online reputation. You can create targeted campaigns and send automated review requests to customers via email or SMS, prompting them to leave a review on a designated review site. As this feature allows you to track and analyze the collected reviews and measure the impact of the campaign on your online reputation, make sure it is included in the solution you are considering.

Does the tool allow social sharing? Social sharing enables you to share positive customer reviews and feedback on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Check with your vendor if their solution supports this feature as this will not only help improve your online reputation but will also increase your backlinks and domain authority.

Products evaluated for the pricing calculation were taken from  Capterra’s review management software directory . The pricing ranges exclude freemium versions of the products. The features highlighted were identified based on their relevance and the percentage of products in Capterra’s directory that offer them.

2) Increase your traffic and product sales

Users who visit software review sites and reach your profile are already warm leads with a particular need that your product can cover. These sites have millions of reviews and are considered trustworthy sources of information. Moreover, customers tend to trust reviews of other customers who have already purchased and used the product. So it’s your chance to be in the spotlight. Your profile on business software review sites may drive high-quality referral traffic to your website, potentially bringing you leads.

3) Get real feedback about your business

We live in a high-competition world, where staying up to notch is essential for success. Having an account at Software Review Websites will help you receive feedback about your software and discover your business’s strengths and the points that need improvement.

The product analysts and experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Media & Tech Lab continuously test everything from photo book maker websites to the best wedding photo albums , printers and much more. When making our selections, we reviewed each product for factors like ease of use and intuitiveness of the website and app, if applicable, photo quality, speed of delivery and extra features like templates, cover options and style. These are the best photo book maker websites of 2024, according to our pros.

Shutterfly offers basic photo books at an affordable price. You can choose from a wide selection of themes, like birthday, travel or wedding, or neutral styles , such as modern or rustic. You can also create your own book and choose the book size, cover style and page style, then embellish it with Shutterfly's extensive library of stickers and ribbons to make your book extra special. We appreciate how easily users can edit within their chosen template and the brand's high-quality photo book paper, making Shutterfly a top pick.

You can also opt for one of its 6" x 6" Instant Books , which let you add photos from your phone, tablet or computer in minutes. These mini photo books have only 20 pages, but they're a great place to store goofy candids or Instagram posts you never want to forget. The possibilities are essentially limitless, though the vast array of options could be overwhelming for those getting started.

If you don't want the pressure of deciding on a layout, the brand offers a convenient Make My Book option, in which Shutterfly's professional designers curate your photos and design the book for free. Plus, you'll still have the opportunity to put finishing touches on it before it gets printed. Whether you opt for 50 or 800 photos (the maximum), you'll receive an email notification within 24 hours that your book is complete.

Crunched for time? Design your photo book online and pick up select styles at a Walmart store near you in as little as one hour. Photo books picked up in one hour can have 15 single-sided pages and a linen cover, while same-day pickups (ready in a few hours) can have up to 20 double-sided pages and the option of a hardcover.

On top of the speedy turnaround, Walmart has a great selection of styles : You can choose everything from the photo size and layout to the type of cover, including hardcover glossy or matte, linen, leather and lay-flat glossy or matte. If you need help narrowing down the choices, there's also the option to shop by occasion, whether you're looking for a one-year anniversary or 15th-year anniversary gift .

Despite the fast shipping and variety, our expert tester, Rachel Rothman , former chief technologist and executive technical director at the Good Housekeeping Institute, did note that the quality is not as high as the options offered by other photo book makers on this list — but that may be expected considering the bargain price tag. Regardless, these photo books still make a superb present that can cost under $10 without compromising on sentimentality.

No matter the occasion, you can't go wrong with one of Artifact Uprising's high-quality photo books. There are numerous design options, including preset books to celebrate the birth of a new baby or commemorating a marriage. You can choose from lay-flat albums, books with photo strips and even softcover Instagram Friendly Books for the influencer in your life. The company even has an iPhone app that lets you create a photo book right from your smartphone. However, Rothman found the app to be glitchy at times and noted there's room for improvement with the software. Still, the books come out on top for elegance and simplicity .

One online reviewer wrote, "The fabric cover is beautiful. The photos are amazing quality and look amazing even though the photos were taken on film and therefore are a bit grainy." The overall 4.6-star rating (out of 5) backs up that review. Quality and elevated designs come with a higher price tag, but there are options for $20 or less if you're shopping on a budget.

If you have a special project and a little more money to spend, Artifact Uprising offers Design Services , which allow you to work one-on-one with an expert to bring your special moments to life. Just note that the design fee is rather steep at $119 and requires an additional $100 album deposit.

When Mixbook says it has "custom photo books for every occasion," it really means it. There are 374 different themed templates to choose from, including everything f rom travel and sports to weddings and recipes. But that doesn't mean you have to give up creative control. You can still customize the look to your liking, from fun backgrounds to stickers to text using the Editor tool. Plus, there are plenty of paper varieties, from semigloss to ultra-thick matte.

Rothman appreciated the nice balance between good photo editing and price, but she did experience issues with the lay-flat option, in which the photos bled into the crease. You can also use the iPhone app to organize your photos with a tool that the brand calls "Automagic": Simply choose the images you want and select a theme. The goal of Automagic is to help arrange your camera roll so your photos are in order when it comes time to add them to your photo book.

If you're not sure where to start, our pros love Printique because it's super easy to use. You can select one of the many predesigned layouts or create an entire photo book from scratch. Choose among portrait, landscape and square orientations, as well as hardcover and softcover options. You can even store your memories in a genuine leather or vegan leather book or pick from five different fabric colors. Although you can't choose the color for a hard- or softcover photo book, you can still customize the shape, size and paper type.

Looking for something more advanced? There'sa tool for professional photographers to design and create their own photo books. But if you want to keep things simple, consider starting with one of Printique's 4" x 4" Mini Softcover photo books , which have a maximum of 40 pages and come in three sizes.

Is Amazon Photos already your preferred destination for uploading photos? Then creating a photo book through its interface is an easy solution. Similar to other photo book makers, you can create by occasion and size, or choose its 8" x 8" Premium Photo Book for a versatile option that has a laminated cover and lay-flat binding. There's also an option with standard binding at a lower cost, and all Amazon Prime members get free shipping . (Everyone else is eligible for free shipping with a minimum order of $15.)

In addition to photo books, you can shop large prints, calendars, cards and metal tabletops. There are fewer size and style options than most services when it comes to photo books, but the other photo product choices make up for the lack of available styles. After all, sometimes it's easier and quicker to have fewer options to choose from if you need to pull something together by a certain date, like a last-minute gift for your boyfriend .

With Pinhole Press, you can choose from various photo book styles ranging from board pages to softcovers to accordion-style setups. Upload your photos and let the system do the work, or manually place the photos into the layout yourself. Rothman says her kids love the Custom Board Books , which have themes such as " Count With Me ," " Healthy Habits " and " I Can Be Anything ." These photo books aren't just visually stimulating, but they can also educate and entertain kids for years to come .

"I got my daughter the ' My First Photo Book ' as a toddler and made it all about her — like pictures with family, doing things she likes, her favorite toys, at the playground and beach, etc. — and she still is obsessed with it," says Lexie Sachs , executive director of strategy and operations at the Good Housekeeping Institute.

Rothman also notes the custom Photo Puzzle is a fun option for kids, and the Itty Bitty Books are easy to tote around in a work bag for on-hand entertainment. There's less variety in some categories, including Itty Bitty and hardcover books, but with so many additional photo categories other companies lack, there are still plenty of great options for kids.

If you store your snaps in Google Photos, then Google's very own photo book maker might be the most convenient option for you. Even though there are no fancy designs, the process is seamless. Choose from two options: a 7" x 7" softcover photo book or a 9" x 9" hardcover photo book. You can include between 20 and 140 pages, and you have the option to add a spine title if you hit more than 48 pages for a softcover or any number of pages for a hardcover.

Another hallmark of Google Photos is that you can make one photo book and order multiple copies to give to family members and friends who are also pictured in the photos. Since they come at an affordable price point, you could give everyone on your gift list a copy, whether you decide to create a collection of candid photos for your closest friends or a tangible memento of a fun family trip. Though there may not be as many designs and styles to choose from, that can make the customization process less daunting.

Chatbooks Custom Photo Books & Albums

"Set and forget it," Rothman says about the ease of using Chatbooks, which markets itself as "ridiculously easy." You can upload images from Instagram, Flickr, Dropbox, Facebook or your computer and edit them on your desktop or via the app . The service's Custom Photo Books & Albums option is great for families looking to personalize a family vacation , as you can choose colors, layouts, cover styles, collages, captions and more. Peruse its vast collection of more than 300 unique book covers, or shop the premium lay-flat and special occasion photo books.

You can also have fun with the Instagram and Facebook series — a 6" x 6" or 8" x 8" book with 60 pages — that lets you store your favorite social media posts in a tangible place to look back on for years to come.

Unique to Chatbooks is its subscription service, which allows you to receive a softcover, hardcover or mini photo book each month. If you and your family love taking photographs of walks in the park, weekend road trips or vacations, this service is ideal for getting your photos in your hands ASAP. One thing to note about the subscription option is that there are only two sizes available (5" x 7" and the monthly mini).

How we choose the best photo book makers

At the Good Housekeeping Institute , our pros in the Media & Tech Lab have been testing photo book makers for more than a decade . For this article, we referenced a robust test of photo book makers completed in 2009, examined updates to apps and ordered new products to test in 2023.

When choosing the best photo book makers, our Lab experts consider ease of use, performance and appearance . That means our pros take an in-depth look at a wide range of features, such as how easy it is to navigate the interface and add photos and text to the book; upload and delivery time; the number of styles, covers and templates offered; and the photo, paper and binding quality.

What to look for when shopping for the best custom photo book maker

Keep the following features in mind when choosing the right photo book maker website for your needs:

✔️ Size: Whether you're looking for a small photo book for kids or a much larger album to house snapshots from a long family vacation, there are regular, large and miniature photo book sizes available. It's best to think about how many photos you want to include and where you plan to store the album (i.e., will the book be too tall for your bookshelf or just right on top of your coffee table?).

✔️ Shape: Most photo books are rectangular or square in shape, but some companies also offer photo puzzles, calendars and tabletops to choose from too. The shape is really about aesthetic preference and the orientation you prefer for your photos.

✔️ Page count: Are you compiling 20 photos from your daughter's first-birthday party? Or are you putting together an anniversary album of pictures of you and your partner throughout the years? The number of pages determines the number of photos you can include in an album, so you have enough space to include everything.

✔️ Paper quality: This is probably a no-brainer, as the quality of material your photos are printed on is as important as the quality of the photos themselves. Although companies with higher-quality paper, like Artifact Uprising , may have a higher price tag, the extra money goes toward paper that won't lead to photos bleeding into the crease. But there are still services that are affordable and offer good-quality products, like our best value pick, Walmart Photo .

✔️ Binding quality: Some companies, like Google Photos , will add a binding to your photo album. This feature is especially important when considering the durability and longevity of your photo album. Whether it's a softcover, hardcover or lay-flat book, make sure the binding can withstand accidental drops and the wear and tear of passing the family album around at holiday parties.

✔️ Templates: If your photo album will have a certain theme or be centered around a specific occasion — or it's your first time using a photo book maker — choosing a service that has a variety of templates to choose from will let your creativity flow and also help you warm up to the design process.

✔️ Editing capabilities: When looking at beginner-level or more advanced designer tools, consider how robust or simple they are to use. Having lots of control over the interface is fun, but if you're looking for a more straightforward experience, opt for a service that does the majority of the decision-making for you or offers designer help, like Shutterfly .

What is the easiest way to make a custom photo book?

" It really depends upon the service and your preference ," Rothman says. Although some online custom photo book makers also have an app, it can have limited functionality, be buggy or not as easy to use as the desktop equivalent. "Often, an app makes it super simple to upload pictures from your phone (a major plus!) but doesn't allow as much flexibility for product assortment or editing once you've selected." That said, designing a photo book on your smartphone or tablet versus a desktop may come down to how many edits you intend to make .

"If you plan to do a lot of editing, the non-app version on a larger screen would likely be your best choice. If you want to quickly make a book with limited changes, an app on your mobile device may be the way to go," Rothman explains.

NHL Playoffs 2024: How to Watch Without Cable, Schedule, Matchups, TV Times

The quest for Lord Stanley's Cup continues tonight and over the weekend with a bevy of first-round games.

It's the greatest time of year for hockey fans. The animosity that develops between two teams over a seven-game series. The intensity of sudden-death overtime. Playoff beards. The ability of a hot goaltender to lead an underdog team on a deep playoff run. And the Holy Grail that is the Stanley Cup trophy itself. The NHL playoffs have begun and are sure to be filled with drama between now and the NHL finals in June.

Like the NBA playoffs , games for this year's Stanley Cup playoffs will be split between the Turner (TNT and TBS) and Disney networks (ABC, ESPN, ESPN 2). Here's everything you need to know to catch all the action on ice, with or without cable.

New York Rangers rookie Matt Rempe sets up in the crease against the Washington Capitals in the first game of their first-round series.

How to watch the NHL playoffs

The Stanley Cup playoffs are shown on ABC, ESPN, ESPN 2, TBS and TNT. You can watch the games with a cable subscription or a  live TV streaming service . Four of the five major services (all but Fubo, which lacks TNT and TBS) offer the five channels needed to watch every NHL playoff game. You can also watch the TNT and TBS games with Max.

What is the NHL playoff schedule?

Here's the schedule for tonight and the next few days of the Stanley Cup playoffs (all times ET). 

Friday, April 26

• Rangers vs. Capitals, 7 p.m. on TNT (Rangers lead series 2-0)
• Canucks vs. Predators, 7:30 p.m. on TBS (series tied 1-1)
• Jets vs. Avalanche, 10 p.m. on TNT (series tied 1-1)
• Oilers vs. Kings, 10:30 p.m. on TBS (series tied 1-1)

Saturday, April 27 

• Hurricanes vs. Islanders, 2 p.m. on TBS (Canes lead 3-0)
• Panthers vs. Lightning, 5 p.m. on TBS (Panthers lead 3-0)
• Bruins vs. Maple Leafs, 8 p.m. on TBS and NESN (Bruins lead 2-1)
• Stars vs. Golden Knights, 10:30 p.m. on TBS (Knights lead 2-0)

What does the NHL playoff bracket look like?

The New York Rangers earned the top spot in the East with 114 points, while the Dallas Stars claimed the West's first seed with 113 points. Here's what the matchups look like for the 2024 NHL playoffs .

Carries TBS, TNT, ESPN and ESPN 2 for $40 per month

Sling TV's $40-per-month Orange plan includes TBS, TNT, ESPN and ESPN 2, but you'll need the combined Orange-and-Blue plan for $55 a month to get both ESPN and ABC for the rest of the playoffs. You'll also need to live in one of the few markets where Sling offers ABC .

TBS and TNT games for $10 per month

The ad-supported plan for Max costs $10 per month and will show the games that air on TBS and TNT. With just Max, however, you'll miss games on ESPN and ABC.

Live sports on Max will soon require the $10-per-month B/R Sports add-on, but you won't need to shell out for it just yet. Warner Bros. Discovery is delaying charging customers for the add-on for now and includes it in the standard subscription.
