Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about how SoftwareSelect helps you find the right software, for free.

How much does SoftwareSelect cost?+

Nothing. Our software recommendations and advisor support are completely free for businesses. We may earn a referral fee from a vendor if you choose their product, but that never affects which software we recommend to you.

How do you make money if the advice is free?+

When we match you with a software provider and you become a customer, that vendor may pay us a referral fee. Our recommendations are based on verified reviews and your specific needs, not on who pays the most.

How fast will I get a recommendation?+

Most people receive a personalized shortlist in about 15 minutes when they speak with an advisor, or within one business day when they submit a request through our form.

Are your recommendations unbiased?+

Yes. We base recommendations on verified user reviews, independent product research, and your requirements. Referral relationships never change the products we suggest or their ranking.

What kinds of software can you help with?+

We cover 150+ categories including CRM, project management, accounting, construction, HR, marketing, and many more. If you are not sure which category fits, our advisors can help you figure that out.

Do I have to buy anything?+

No. There is zero obligation. You can use our shortlist and advice to make your own decision, on your own timeline.

Are the reviews on SoftwareSelect real?+

Yes. Ratings and reviews come from verified users of the software, combined with independent research from our team.
