About MarketDeals

What MarketDeals is

MarketDeals is an independent comparison site for online marketing tools and services. We publish detailed, side-by-side comparisons of the platforms that small businesses, creators and marketers actually shortlist, so that choosing between them takes minutes rather than an afternoon of open tabs.

The project started from a simple frustration. Most best-of lists rank whatever pays the most, quote prices that are months out of date, and never tell you which option is wrong for you. We try to do the opposite.

How we compare

Every figure we publish — prices, plan limits, delivery times, ratings and customer numbers — is taken directly from the provider’s own website or pricing page, and we record the month we checked it. Where a provider makes a claim we cannot verify independently, we attribute it to them rather than presenting it as fact.

We compare on the things that actually change a decision: what a plan costs at a realistic size, what is included versus what forces an upgrade, how support works when something breaks, and what happens if you want to leave.

Who our guides are for

Our guides are written for people spending their own money. That means we say plainly when a free plan is enough, when the cheaper option is the better fit, and when a product is the wrong tool for a particular job. A recommendation that suits everyone suits nobody.

How MarketDeals makes money

MarketDeals earns a commission when a reader signs up through some of the links on this site, at no additional cost to the reader. This is how the research is funded. It does not change which services we cover, how we rank them, or what we say about them. The full explanation is on our Privacy and Affiliate Disclosure page.

Keeping pages current

Pricing in this industry moves constantly. We revisit our comparisons, re-check published figures and date them so you can judge how fresh the information is. If you spot something out of date, tell us and we will correct it.
