Every software and service review ends with a Main Street Score out of 10.
What we score
- Ease of use (25%): can a busy owner set it up without a consultant?
- Features (25%): does it cover what a small business actually needs?
- Value (30%): real cost at small-business scale, including add-ons and fees
- Support (20%): how quickly and well you can get help
How we test
Where possible we sign up and use the product, check current pricing on the provider’s site, and compare it with alternatives at the same price point. We note when a review is based on research rather than hands-on use.
Independence
Companies can’t pay for a higher score or a place in our lists. Some links may earn us a commission; see our advertiser disclosure.
Keeping reviews current
Prices and features change. We recheck popular reviews regularly and show the date on each one. Spot something out of date? newsroom@mainstreetmoneyguide.com.
