# Softwr

> An independent software directory covering 5,093 products across
> 106 categories. Every product is documented against the same
> criteria: pricing taken from the vendor's own published page, features,
> concrete limitations, use cases, and alternatives each checked by two
> reviewers. Softwr hosts no user reviews and publishes no star ratings,
> because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish.

## What is here, and how the URLs are built

Every product has a slug. Given a slug, these pages exist:

- https://www.softwr.com/software/{slug} — the full record: what it does, pricing, features, where it falls short, alternatives
- https://www.softwr.com/pricing/{slug} — every published tier, what each adds over the one below, and how it sits against its category
- https://www.softwr.com/alternatives/{slug} — researched alternatives, with the reason each is a genuine alternative
- https://www.softwr.com/compare/{slug-a}-vs-{slug-b} — two products against the same criteria
- https://www.softwr.com/category/{category} and https://www.softwr.com/best/{category} — the category shortlist

15,843 comparisons are published.

## What this directory has that vendor pages do not

- **Where it falls short.** Every product record carries concrete, checkable
  limitations. This is the section with no equivalent on a vendor's own site.
- **Pricing that says when it does not know.** A tier priced on request is
  recorded as priced on request, never as zero and never guessed.
- **Alternatives with reasons.** Each says why it is a genuine alternative,
  not simply that it shares a category.
