02How it works

How Compare North works

  1. 01Tell us what you need

  2. 02We compare the research

    We compare the leading options across the criteria that matter, so you don't have to spend hours reading articles and weighing them up yourself.

  3. 03Get your matches

    See the tools that fit your situation, understand why they were recommended and choose with more confidence.

03Why Compare North

Built for decisions, not generic lists.

Generic "best tools" rankings treat every business the same. Compare North starts with your business, then works out which tools actually fit it.

  • Personalised

    Your answers shape the recommendation.

  • Transparent

    See how tools are scored and understand why they were recommended.

  • Independent

    Affiliate partnerships never influence rankings.

04Match Score

See what goes into a Match Score.

Your answers determine what matters most. Provider research is then weighted against those needs to produce a Match Score out of 100.

This is one example — the weighting changes with your answers.
