Whether you’re stuck between two software options, need advice on a specific category, or just want to share your own software horror story, I’d love to hear from you.
Why Reach Out?
Choosing software is a big decision. Sometimes you need to talk through your specific situation with someone who’s been there. I get dozens of questions every week from business owners trying to navigate software decisions, and I genuinely enjoy helping people avoid the mistakes I’ve made.
I’m not here to sell you anything. I don’t work for any software company, and I’m not trying to push you toward expensive solutions. My goal is simple: help you find software that actually works for your specific situation.
How I Can Help
Software Recommendations
Trying to choose between multiple options? Send me your shortlist and your specific requirements. I’ll give you my honest take on which solution makes the most sense for your business size, budget, and needs.
Category Guidance
Not sure what type of software you even need? Describe your problem, and I’ll point you toward the right category and top options to evaluate. Sometimes the solution isn’t what you think it is.
Implementation Reality Checks
Found software you like but worried about the implementation? I can help you understand what you’re really signing up for—the true timeline, hidden costs, and potential roadblocks.
Software Problem Diagnosis
Current software not working out? Sometimes the issue isn’t the software itself but how it’s configured or used. I can help you figure out if you need to switch or just optimize what you have.
Get in Touch Through This Form
This is the best way to reach me for detailed questions or when you need a thoughtful response. I typically reply within 24-48 hours (sometimes faster if you catch me between reviews).
What to Include
To give you the most helpful response, include:
- Your business type and size (industry, number of employees)
- Your specific software challenge (what you’re trying to solve)
- Your budget range (helps me recommend realistic options)
- Current tools (if you’re looking to replace something)
- Any specific requirements (integrations, compliance needs, etc.)
Response Times
Email responses: 24-48 hours typically, sometimes faster
Complex questions: May take longer if I need to research or test something
Follow-up questions: Always welcome—software decisions rarely get resolved in one exchange
What I Don’t Do
Sales calls or demos: I’m not selling software, so I don’t do sales-style calls. But I’m happy to answer questions via email.
Custom software development: I review existing solutions rather than building new ones.
Affiliate pressure: If you ask for a recommendation, I’ll give you my honest opinion regardless of affiliate relationships.
Emergency support: I can’t help with urgent technical issues with software you’ve already purchased—you’ll need to contact that vendor’s support team.
Frequently Asked Questions
“Do you charge for advice?”
Nope. Quick questions and recommendations are always free. If you find my advice helpful and want to support the site, the best thing you can do is use the links in my reviews when you’re ready to try software.
“Will you review [specific software]?”
Maybe! I prioritize reviews based on reader requests, so definitely let me know what you’d like to see covered. I can’t promise to review everything, but popular requests definitely move up the list.
“Can you look at software for my specific industry?”
Absolutely. While I cover general business software, I also dive into industry-specific solutions when there’s demand. Healthcare, manufacturing, professional services—if there’s software for it, I’ll research it.
“What if I disagree with your review?”
I’d love to hear about it! My reviews are based on research and testing, but every business is different. If you’ve had a different experience with software I’ve reviewed, your perspective helps make future reviews more comprehensive.
Software Vendors
Want Your Software Reviewed?
I’m always looking for new software to evaluate. Here’s what I need:
Full access to test: Demo accounts with realistic data and full feature access
No editorial control: I’ll write an honest review based on my evaluation
Reasonable timeline: Most reviews take 2-4 weeks from start to publication
I don’t charge vendors for reviews, but I also don’t guarantee positive coverage. The review will reflect my honest assessment of how the software performs for real business use cases.
Questions About Coverage?
If you think I missed something important in a review of your software, I’m open to feedback. I update reviews when I discover new information that would change my assessment.
One More Thing
Don’t struggle with software decisions alone. I’ve been through the pain of choosing the wrong tool, implementing something that doesn’t work, and wasting months trying to make bad software work for my business.
You don’t have to repeat those mistakes.
Whether you need a quick recommendation, want someone to sense-check your shortlist, or just need to vent about your current software frustrations, I’m here to help.
The best software decision is an informed one. Let’s make sure you have all the information you need.
P.S. If you’ve found a great software solution that’s not on my radar yet, I’d love to hear about it. The best discoveries often come from readers who’ve found hidden gems in their specific industries.
