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.

Pros

“It is a very good research application, I can enter from different devices anywhere and generate the results of the competition on a daily basis, without a doubt it is a very accurate application when it comes to giving a report or a suggestion about a certain service, urls, mapping etc”

Joan G.

Marketing director

“I mostly use them to monitor different brands and how media talk about them, if there's a crisis or a viral news that impacts business.”

Jose C.

Data Analyst

“BuzzSumo has effective features that makes it easy for us to market our brand.”

Mbiuki E.

Procurement Officer

Pros

“The features of rank tracking are extraordinary as our marketing team can track our positions in the retail keywords easily with an easy navigation.”

Amir H.

E-Commerce Manager

“We used both Semrush and Ahrefs for several years to manage our SEO campaigns, keyword research, and more.”

Michael C.

VP Marketing

“I also use it to research competitors, find out what content they are ranking for in Google and then producing my own content with a view to outranking the competition and driving traffic to my clients websites.”

David S.

Owner

Cons

“It's a bit pricey and sometimes the mentions you get are from low quality websites that I'm not sure are legit.”

Katya V.

Developer

“Their focus seems to be on bigger companies, and I think it's not suitable for small companies as they may not be able to afford the high prices”

Salim K.

CEO

“With a lot of tools in the market, this feels quite costly now compared to its competitors.”

Habib U.

C.E.O

Cons

“This costed webmasters agency business because some agencies had a process where they evaluated traffic based on Ahrefs and would not accept any alternative way. And now in 2025 they no longer track any positions that rank at over 10th place in Google, because the forced pagination in Google API would make their costs also prohibitive.”

Jana M.

Consultant

“The pricing model is not great on value of money to a mid sized retail team, and customer service takes too much time to answer an important security question about user access.”

Amir H.

E-Commerce Manager

“I want to use the paid features, but the subscription price is too high for me.”
