Our commitment
Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Verified user reviews
GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.
Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

BookStack overview
What is BookStack?
BookStack is an open-source documentation platform focused on providing an easy-to-use experience within mixed-technical-skill environments.
Usability is at the core of the platform, with a simple content structure following a familiar book-chapter-page hierarchy, with Shelves being an optional element for further organization. It comes with a WYSIWYG editor, which lets users avoid the need to learn any sort of custom syntax.
For enterprise environments, BookStack offers a range of authentication options including OIDC, SAML2, and LDAP upon the default of email and password. MFA is built-in and enforceable on a per-role basis.
A REST API within BookStack, in addition to an outbound webhook system, provides a method of extension integration with other business systems where required.
