Editorial standards

What we publish

Softcheap publishes guides and comparisons about software for small businesses and freelancers, alongside our IT setup and automation services. Our aim is to help you choose and use software with confidence.

How we research

• Official sources first. We start from each vendor’s documentation, feature lists, pricing pages and terms.
• Independent sources. We cross-check with reputable third-party reviews, audits and standards where they exist.
• Clear about testing. Unless a guide says we tested something hands-on, it is a research-based summary and not a test report.

How we handle money

Some links on this site are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Commission does not decide what we write about or how we describe a product. We do not accept payment to feature or rank a product. See our affiliate disclosure.

Keeping guides accurate

• Each guide shows when it was last updated.
• Prices, plans and features change, so we tell you to confirm details on the official site before you buy.
• If you spot an error, tell us through our contact form and we will check and correct it.

Our services and independence

We also sell IT setup and automation services. When we recommend software to a client, we tell them if we earn a commission on it.
