It stacks up as the main review service, but the truth is you need to be on all the software review sites so that you can be across them all the reach all your buyers. Overall its a great tool, would recommend.

Chose Capterra
Capterra is well known, more traditional, and more focused on the software segment (different from trust pilot), and the descriptions are well summarized and optimized for those who are reading/searching. It is the primary choice by people looking for that purpose, and so it …

Chose Capterra
I would say they are neck and neck very similar. Both have the same great features, and verified users, and both are free to use. When you look for honest software reviews in any search engine, both companies are the first names to appear. That way you can compare reviews on …

Capterra
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.

As TrustRadius is, G2 does its job: you get real people feedback and reviews from the trenches for the software you want to discover. That's very useful when you have to make software purchase decisions and real-life trial is not possible.

Cons
Capterra
  • 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.

  • review page has got too much information so you can easily get lost

Usability
Capterra
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.

I think TrustRadius does the job better than G2. I use G2 as a complement to TrustRadius. TR covers a wider range of software, with a more user-friendly interface. both sites have trustworthy reviews written by real people, and not by vendors
