VERDICT

Should I use Persefoni?

Carbon accounting and sustainability management platform - persefoni.com

Depends. Buy if you're a large company, bank, or PE firm facing climate disclosure rules and need audit-grade Scope 1-3 accounting. Skip it if you're a small team wanting a simple footprint — pricing is quote-only and the platform is built for enterprise process.
