Frequently asked questions

I don’t know what software I need. Where do I start?

Start with the job, not the product. Pick what you need to get done (for example, send invoices and get paid, or track projects and deadlines), add your team size, and the finder lists the kinds of software that job usually needs, with the tools we track in each and what they cost at your size.

How does the finder decide which software a job needs?

The link between a job and a software category is our editorial assessment, based on research into how small and mid-size teams describe these problems. The tools and prices come from HelpCompare’s verified dataset: each vendor’s published entry price, recorded from its own pricing page and dated.

How is the cost for my team calculated?

Only by arithmetic on published prices: a per-seat entry price multiplied by your team size (including any published seat minimum), or a flat entry-plan price. Quote-only and per-transaction pricing is labelled, not guessed. Higher tiers, add-ons and tax are not included.

Does HelpCompare rank or score the tools?

No. We publish no scores of our own and take no affiliate commissions. The finder lists tools that meet your must-haves first, then by published cost at your team size, and shows why each one is listed.

What if my job needs software you don’t cover?

The finder says so. Some jobs also need tools in categories we do not track yet, such as time tracking or password management; we list those gaps instead of guessing.

Can I share my plan?

Yes. The page address updates as you choose, so Copy link shares your exact plan. From any category you can also build a one-page decision brief to get the purchase approved.
