About
What Sasanova is — and what it is not
Sasanova is a software comparison platform built for people who are tired of sponsored rankings, vague "top 10" lists, and review sites where paying vendors get higher placement.
We track 148 tools across 30 categories with 151 head-to-head comparisons. Every tool is scored across six axes: value, ease, power, setup friction, migration difficulty, and transparency. Every score is editorial — no user reviews, no vendor-controlled ratings, no pay-for-placement.
What makes us different
Normalized pricing
We break down every plan into monthly/annual cost, seat model, billing type, and hidden fees. Most comparison sites show the vendor's marketing price. We show what you actually pay.
Evidence-backed claims
Every pricing figure links to the vendor's official pricing page. Every feature claim comes from first-party documentation. We do not copy competitor reviews, ratings, or editorial content. Read our source policy →
Editorial independence
We may earn affiliate commissions when you click through to a vendor. But affiliate availability never influences our scores or rankings. Tools without affiliate programs are scored identically to those with them. Read our editorial policy →
Switching intelligence
Most review sites help you pick. We also help you switch. Every tool page includes migration triggers, switching blockers, implementation complexity, and alternative recommendations — because the cost of choosing wrong is the cost of switching later.
Hidden costs exposed
We track pricing gotchas that vendors don't put in their headlines: transaction fees, module add-ons, per-seat price cliffs, contract minimums, and implementation costs. Because the number on the pricing page is rarely the number on your invoice.
