Capterra vs. Clutch

Capterra is best suited for anyone, from business owners looking to upgrade new system software at work to someone looking for reliable internet security at home, Capterra will assist in your decision. It may be less appropriate for anything outside of software, I.E. Medical advice. But if you need help with choosing products for your small business management, this is it.

Clutch is well suited to a new company that is not very established. The site provides you with a way to be seen, a trusted backlink and a bit of traffic to your site. I think Clutch works well for larger companies who provide a very clear service, but not so well for more creative or custom companies.

• It's not so clear when product reviews are being sponsored
• You can offer more sorting options like by price or number of reviews
• Sometimes I wonder if reviews are sponsored by the organization. If that's the case perhaps make it more clear. People would like to know if the review is potentially biased.

• We have yet to win any new clients from our page on Clutch
• There is not much differentiation between companies, more categories would be better
• It would be nice to be able to customise our listing more to suit our brand and style

Its a simple and easy to use tool, you can get set-up and your product published very quickly - its also copies this information to its other review sites. If you have a SaaS product, it should be on your list to sort your Capterra listing out.

Very well. It is a lot more niche and bespoke to what we need and are looking for. Trustpilot is very broad and not focused on the digital industries so the results were vague and not constructive to us making decisions. Often Trustpilot reviews were weak in fulling assessing positives and negatives, and was only used to critique customer service of platforms.

• Capterra has saved me money by helping me choose products that don't allow you to try before you buy.
• I love the honest customer reviews from verified users.
• It's free!

Incentivized

• We have yet to win any business via Clutch
• We worry that our listing on Clutch may put off potential clients as they group us together with other companies that are not that similar
• We are helped by the trusted backlink and small amount of traffic to boost our web vitals
