How we review SaaS tools

This is how we research and write the reviews and comparisons on PlainSaaS.

What our reviews are

Our reviews are research-based. We read the vendor's own pages where they are available, and we cross-check against independent reviews and user-review platforms. We do not claim hands-on testing unless a page says so.

What we look at

• What the product does and who it is built for.
• Features that matter in everyday use.
• Pricing structure, free plans and trials.
• Strengths and weaknesses reported by independent sources.
• Realistic alternatives.

What we do not do

• We do not invent star ratings, user counts or test results.
• We do not accept payment for a positive review.
• We do not hide cons.

Pricing and accuracy

Prices and plans change often. Each review shows when it was last checked and links to its sources. Where a vendor's site could not be read directly, we say so on the page and tell you to confirm on the vendor's site. If you spot an error, let us know and we will correct it.

Affiliate links

Some links are affiliate links. They never affect which tools we cover or what we say about them. See the disclosure.
