Software Shortlist was founded with the mission of helping businesses succeed by choosing the right software. And to date, our website and services have helped over 28,000 firms in their software selection process.
To ensure we are well placed to assist the next 28,000 (or 280,000!), we recently made some important changes to our business model to give you free access to our unique and valuable information on software selection.
Why are we doing this?
Well, our original plan for Software Shortlist was to deliver independent information to small & mid-sized businesses (SMBs) looking for software, and to get paid by them directly for this service. So, we invested in creating unique, high quality resources such as our patent-pending online comparisons & independent review packs.
However, it became clear that many of you simply don’t have a budget for this sort of input in your software selection process. But you still want and need assistance…
Did you say free access to software selection resources?
Yes, we have made a small but important change to our business model: you can now get access to our high quality resources and information for free!
That’s right – you no longer have to pay $99 or more for our software review packs. Nor do you have to pay for our online comparisons. In fact, all of our valuable content is now free if you’re looking for software.
What do you mean “free”?
True, nothing worth having is ever truly free. There is a significant cost to creating the valuable content and services on this website. Someone has to pay for that.
Fortunately, there’s a simple solution. Software vendors and service providers are keen to find new customers, and they welcome the opportunity to be connected with relevant people like you who are genuinely looking for software.
This means you can now get access to Software Shortlist’s review packs, comparison service, and our other services for free, simply by giving permission that we may introduce you to a few (no more than 4) relevant software or service providers.
Connecting you for relevant conversations
We believe there are big benefits to everyone from this approach: (i) you get access to the software selection information and input you need for free; (ii) software vendors and service providers get to talk with genuine and relevant prospects looking for software; and (iii) Software Shortlist is able to create fresh, useful, and valuable content to help with your future software requirements. And as we explained recently, everyone wins with relevant software conversations.
Rest assured that Software Shortlist remains committed to its high standards of integrity and quality. We continue to respect your privacy and will only connect you with a small number of relevant and trusted providers. We also continue to use independent experts and a robust software review methodology in creating our review packs and online comparisons.
Any comments?
We hope you understand the changes outlined above, and we look forward to helping you with you software selection needs for many, many years. If you have any questions or comments, we’d love to hear them.
Thanks!
The Software Shortlist Team
