Analyzo

Thanks @pedram92d we are still trying to figure it out. We're not sure if lead generation is a sustainable model, and our biggest priority is to always remain unbiased. We have a lot more features and functionalities under development so we should have a clearer monetization strategy in a few months. Always open to suggestions though :)

@rubinsabharwal @pedram92d This is really helpful - one idea / thought is to see how the Wirecutter team able to stay unbiased with reviews while generating income?

Thanks @shreenath I think the wirecutter team has done an excellent job being transparent about their business. The reason why lead generation is not a sustainable business model for us is because users tend to research software from multiple resources for a longer period of time before committing to it. We want to emulate wirecutter's success while maintaining a similar level of transparency for Analyzo as well.

@scomopolitan lol we were thinking about adding this as a category :) Though on a serious note our approach is different from the others. Rather than just showing users a list of products in each category, we have developed customized filters in each category, which can be used to find the perfect product/plan fit. Users can narrow down on products and their plans based on their budget and other feature requirements. For example check out the Form Builders Category here: http://www.analyzo.com/search/On... - You can find products/plans based on price, number of submissions etc. You can even compare plans from different vendors. We are still adding this data for many categories and hope to have everything listed in the next couple of months.

@raghavkap The filtering feature is amazing indeed great job. A must have free tools to use like GA/ GWT / Asana / Slack etc... category coud be helpful

@scomopolitan that's a good idea, will create a list of free products for the various categories. Thanks for the suggestion.

@pranaychoudhry thanks!

@bentossell Siftery has done a great job in collecting the tech stacks of different companies a lot like Stackshare. Yet what may hold true for the companies listed may not necessarily apply to the individual users. For example, the payment gateway used by Airbnb may not necessarily serve the requirements of a small startup. Different companies of different sizes have different requirements. We try to make it easier for the users by telling them that as per our research these are the best products in the market, these are their different plans, and based on the parameters most useful to you, you can narrow down to the closest product+plan fit for yourself. An example of this is let’s say you are looking for an Invoicing Tool that is Free, provides Unlimited Invoices, supports Stripe as its payment gateway, and provides Time Tracking. Analyzo lets you narrow it down to this http://bit.ly/1Sazph1 I hope I managed to answer your question :)

Thanks for the feedback @_pulkitagrawal I agree with you! But instead of trying to automate the entire process, in the future we want to automate the parameter collection process through the community and give the companies the ability to manage their listing with the moderation from our end

@rubinsabharwal in which case you'll have to come up with a good incentive for a company to update their own listing...

Thanks for pointing this out @evivz. This is probably an error we made while entering the data and will be rectified ASAP. Internet companies are always changing their pricing and sometimes it takes us a few days to catch up to them :) And thanks for the suggestion we will be incorporating payment terms as per time in the future.
