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.

“very easy to set up and get started- great user access and grant management with third-party SSO integration- easily define similar document structures with the ability to completely customize the visual presentation”

Software Developer

Cons

“Our previous WordPress site no longer lived up to our demands for customisation and required quite a few work-arounds for the editors to structure content properly. Upon partnering up with the web consultancy, 1508, we were advised to try Contentful as our new platform.”

Communications Manager

“My organisation needed a complete rework of our website when our previous consultancy suspended their services.”
