VERDICT

Should I use GetApp?

Business software directory: review, compare and evaluate SaaS - getapp.co.uk

Depends. Use GetApp as a free starting point to shortlist SMB software from a catalog of thousands of apps. Don't treat its rankings as neutral — vendors fund the model — so verify finalists with trials and independent reviews.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 14 public sources; GetApp is a software directory, not a tool you deploy. Xiaomi 'GetApps' store threads were excluded as a different product.

Best for

  • SMB buyers shortlisting software
  • Comparing pricing across many vendors
  • UK-specific software searches
  • Vendors seeking category visibility

Not for

  • Anyone expecting neutral rankings — vendors pay for placement and leads
  • Enterprise procurement needing audited, verified review data
  • Xiaomi phone users hunting the GetApps app store — completely different product
  • Teams wanting hands-on trials — it's a directory, not a test environment

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Guess: comparison forms route to vendors — expect sales calls after shortlisting.

Guess: 'Category Leader' badges get marketed by vendors as independent awards.

GetApp, Capterra, G2 now one owner — listings and terms may consolidate.
