Cool idea, but why can you compare completely unrelated products? Is there a use case for that, which I am missing?
Ishan Gupta
@joshdance Glad you asked this! We debated this internally as well and we decided to let users have complete flexibility around the products which they want to compare. This was supported by the fact that we have seen multiple companies use the same product with different use cases. Having said that, we might reconsider this as our dataset and product categorization becomes stronger.

How is this different from what Slant.co is doing?
Adi Patil
The product looks great! Useful information at the disposal. I am wondering though how do you make money? A naive question probably but am curious.

Very helpful, I'd love to see a browser plugin which gives me alternatives if I view a tool's page
Ishan Gupta
@bnjmnlbr Thanks for the feedback! In case you haven't, you should definitely check out https://siftery.com/alternatives but we will surely keep the browser plugin in mind.

@bnjmnlbr @ishan_gupta yes this could be a real good feature in this product jungle world. And what about adding other product in compare tab ourself ?
Ishan Gupta
@bnjmnlbr @mcflydev Do you mean adding a third product? If yes, we decided to keep it limited to two products because that provided a clearer picture. We would love to know your thoughts around this.

@bnjmnlbr @ishan_gupta the possibility to search a product and add it in another column freely. this is what i meant

We created Product Comparisons to make it easy to compare any two software products in our database. We've pre-generated a few hundred thousand, but you can actually create a new comparison on the fly (from our list of ~42,000 solutions, that's almost 1 billion comparison pairs)! Comparisons are based on Customer Sentiment/Reviews, Customer Growth, Adoption by Company Size/Industry/Geography, Integrations, and Pricing. Pages are being enriched with new data every day.

Everyone can go look at social following or hunt down some sort of financial metrics of a company in Crunchbase. Sifter gives some cool data that isn't super easy to find, like NPS, which is important to marketers.

Pros:

As someone historically on the business side, competitive analysis is a part of everyday life. This is a novel idea for making it easier.

Cons:

Limited information for now, but I assume it will be come far more robust.

Siftery seems to have answers to any "what software"-like question.

Congrats on yet another great feature by the Siftery team! :) I really like how the landing page was featuring some of the 'obvious' ones.

@alexander_boykov We have a bunch of programmatic sources to fetch usage data, what we like to call "siftery bots". Apart from that, employees from over 30,000 companies have been generous to share reviews, sentiments and other usage data.

@alexander_boykov @ishan_gupta do you think this is scalable? my main concern is how will you keep track of new product features from all these vendors? Are employees rating/reviewing their own product? If so that would make me believe the data is biased..? Curious to hear your thoughts!
Ishan Gupta
@alexander_boykov @hanothan Good question! 1. We have a data curation team which makes sure that all the product information is regularly updated. Vendors also reach out to us frequently in case there are any updates or any new features are added to their product. 2. The employees rating/reviewing products are the ones who are using it or have used it at some point of time. We have dogfooding filters in place at certain points in our app - reviews and ratings being one of them to prevent product admins leaving favourable reviews and ratings. On top of that we also provide vendors an option to reach out to their customers to submit ratings/reviews on our platform. I hope that answers your questions.
