VERDICT

Should I use The Commons (Commons app)?

COMMON - thecommons.earth

Depends. Commons is a free consumer app for shopping more sustainably — worth trying if you are an individual shopper, and public evidence on it is thin. Businesses and teams should not buy it as software: it is not a B2B tool, and look-alike 'The Commons' businesses (apartments, coworking, golf) pollute search results.

Confidence

Low. Based on 6 usable public sources. Most 'The Commons' search results are unrelated businesses, so confidence is low.

Consumer sustainability-shopping app, not business software. Thin evidence; fine to try, wrong for teams.
