G2
Depends
Confidence: Medium
Buyers shortlisting B2B software should use G2 free as one input, cross-checked against Capterra or TrustRadius.
| Compare | Deque | G2 |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | Large orgs with WCAG/ADA compliance mandates | B2B software buyers shortlisting tools |
| Who it's not for | Freelancers and solo devs . pricing isn't built for you | Vendors without five-figure budgets |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.13 | No public security page found; UpGuard reports no phishing; G2's own DPA references a past data breach. |
| Support quality | Enterprise CSM model, but no buyer reviews found | Trustpilot and BBB complaints about G2's service |
| Public sentiment | Users praise axe-core, Deque University courses and axe Monitor, while smaller buyers complain enterprise pricing is out of reach. | 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. |
| Biggest gotcha | Sales-led enterprise contracts; expect custom quotes, not public pricing⁴ | Vendor contracts are negotiated and opaque; budget five figures annually before committing. |
