Methodology
Each Competitive Intelligence tool is scored on a 0–1 scale using three weighted inputs:
- Average rating (60%) — mean rating across G2, Capterra, and Trustpilot, normalized against a 5-point scale.
- Review volume (30%) — total verified reviews, log-normalized so a tool with ten-thousand reviews doesn't trivially dominate one with one-thousand strong reviews.
- Mention frequency (10%) — how often the tool appears as a competitor across our Competitive Intelligence analyses. A proxy for market presence.
Rankings refresh as new reports are generated. No vendor pays for placement — scores come entirely from third-party review data.
