Comparison
Don't Do It Yourself and G2 both land on Depends.
DDIY is a free advice blog, not software . usable as a first-pass shortlist for solo founders picking freelancers or tools, though evidence here is low-confidence so verify its picks elsewhere.
Buyers shortlisting B2B software should use G2 free as one input, cross-checked against Capterra or TrustRadius.

| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | Solo founders picking business tools | B2B software buyers shortlisting tools |
| Who it's not for | Buyers needing verified, hands-on testing | Vendors without five-figure budgets |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.⁵ | No public security page found; UpGuard reports no phishing; G2's own DPA references a past data breach.10 |
| Support quality | No evidence in sources | Trustpilot and BBB complaints about G2's service |
| Public sentiment | No substantive user reviews of surfaced in sources reviewed; a Trustpilot profile exists but no rating was visible.³ | Buyers find G2 useful for breadth, but sentiment on G2's own service skews negative on Trustpilot and Redditors weigh it against Capterra and Trustpilot.12 |
| Biggest gotcha | Guess: 'our picks' likely monetized via referrals . independently verify shortlisted tools before spending.¹ | Vendor contracts are negotiated and opaque; budget five figures annually before committing.11 |
