| Compare | ||
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | SMBs shortlisting software by category | B2B software buyers shortlisting tools |
| Who it's not for | Anyone expecting neutral, ad-free rankings | Vendors without five-figure budgets |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.10 | No public security page found; UpGuard reports no phishing; G2's own DPA references a past data breach.15 |
| Support quality | No support evidence found | Trustpilot and BBB complaints about G2's service |
| Public sentiment | Users find GetApp handy for discovery but increasingly distrust paid review-site rankings.² | 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 | Category Leader badges double as vendor marketing assets, not independent audits | Vendor contracts are negotiated and opaque; budget five figures annually before committing.16 |
