Questions before you start

Questions before you start

The questions we hear most before a demo. If yours is not here, ask us.

Can I use MercatIQ if I already have a shortlist?

Yes. Add the tools you are considering and MercatIQ builds the comparison around them. It researches each one, scores it against the criteria you set, and shows where the differences actually matter for your team.

Can I start if I do not know which tools to compare yet?

Yes. Start with a category, a use case, or the problem you are trying to solve. MercatIQ researches the software options that match your context first, then turns them into a structured comparison you can work from.

Is this the same as a software review site?

No. Review sites rank software for a general audience, using reviews from teams whose situation may not match yours. MercatIQ compares software against your own use case, budget, requirements and priorities, and shows the evidence behind each score.

What can I compare software on?

Features, pricing, integrations, implementation effort, support, and workflow fit, plus anything else that matters to your decision. You choose the criteria and set how much weight each one carries, so the comparison follows your priorities instead of a generic scoring model.

Where does the information come from?

MercatIQ runs live research across product pages, documentation, pricing pages, integration listings, and review signals, and keeps the sources attached to the result. Every score can be traced back to the evidence behind it, so your team can check the reasoning instead of taking it on trust.

What happens on the demo?

We look at a software decision your team is working on now. You see how MercatIQ researches the options, structures the criteria, and builds the comparison, on your decision, not a canned example. If it fits, we set up your workspace after the call.
