Which software fits my business

How the shortlist works

A platform makes the list when it names your trade on its own site, when we have it down as fitting a crew your size, and when its own pricing page names every feature you ticked. Leave the trade on all trades and we skip that first test. That is the whole rule. There is no score out of ten and no ranking, because the order would be ours rather than the vendor's, and you could not check it. The cheaper ones are shown first, an order you can check for yourself.

The crew the price is for

Every card is priced for the largest crew your answer covers rather than for one user. 6 to 20 is priced for twenty, so the plan on the card is one everybody in that range can buy and a smaller crew pays no more than the figure shown. Some of these plans are flat, so a crew of six and a crew of twenty pay the same. More than 20 has no largest crew, so it is priced for twenty five and the shortlist says so.

The price is a floor

The figure is the cheapest plan that covers that crew, and a feature you ticked can sit on a plan above it: these vendors publish which features they sell, not which plan each one comes on, so the price is the floor and the vendor's own page is what settles it. Where a vendor publishes no price that covers that crew, the card says so instead of estimating.

Where the numbers came from

Prices come from the 46 vendor pricing pages that print one, read between September 6, 2026 and September 16, 2026, and every card links to the page its figure came from.
