Enterprise review platforms are all pay-to-play

Every B2B software purchase is rigged.We have the real data.

Enterprise review platforms charge vendors for top rankings. Your procurement team is buying from a paid shortlist. We analyze what real IT teams actually say — in forums, Slack channels, and private discussions with zero financial incentive.

The dirty secret costing B2B buyers millions

Your shortlist is a paid ad.

When review platforms charge vendors $50K/month to be a "Leader," your procurement team isn't evaluating software — they're clicking through a sponsored listing.

THE PROBLEM

Your Procurement Is Compromised

  • Enterprise review platforms sell top rankings to highest bidder
  • Vendors pay $3K–$30K/mo for "Leader" badges
  • Enterprise buying cycles exploit this data gap
THE REALITY

What IT Teams Actually Say

  • Real IT professionals vent in private forums and Slack
  • r/sysadmin, r/devops, r/ITManagers discussions
  • Unfiltered, unpaid, brutally honest feedback
THE SOLUTION

Intelligence for Procurement Teams

  • AI-analyzed sentiment from 500K+ IT professionals
  • Zero vendor relationships — zero conflicts
  • Transparent methodology, open to scrutiny

Why trust us?

We built RealReviews because we were tired of procurement teams making million-dollar decisions based on vendor marketing disguised as "independent reviews."

We don't take vendor money

No paid placements. No sponsored badges. Companies can't pay to appear on our list or influence their scores.

We read what real users actually say

We analyze millions of discussions from Reddit and forums — places where people have no financial incentive to lie.

We only recommend what's genuinely good

Every product on our list scores 4.0 or higher from real user discussions. That's the only criterion.

Affiliate Commissions

When we recommend a product and you buy it through our link, we sometimes earn a small affiliate commission. This is how we keep the lights on.

Our Rules:

  • The commission never influences which products we recommend or how we score them
  • A product either meets our 4.0+ threshold from real user discussions, or it doesn't make the list
  • We clearly label all affiliate links and commission rates
  • We publish our earnings publicly every month
