What it does
Most "best software" lists are written by people the vendors pay. We built the opposite: an independent analysis of 725 vendors serving trades & construction businesses. 36% of platforms won't publish a price. Median entry: $79/user/month (range $6-$595). Only 10% have a free tier. Contractor insurance: not one carrier publishes a flat rate. Plus an honesty ledger: 35 vendors with documented problems, each cited. Free, no email gate, free to cite.
Original analysis of 127 trades software platforms: pricing, integrations, founding years and vendor reputation flags. Data as of 15 October 2026.
Original data findings from analysis of 127 trades software platforms across 21 verticals, now expanded to a 278-vendor contractor software stack (10 categories) and 17 international markets. What pricing actually looks like in 2026, which integrations matter, who we flag and why, and where the gaps are. Prices are taken from each vendor's own pricing page and dated per row.

We built PriceLevel to find out what companies pay for SaaS2024 · pricelevel.com · ▲532Hey HN! Christine and Steven here. As a PM and engineer, we’ve both evaluated and purchased a lot of software. One of the biggest frustrations was figuring out how much it would cost us without having to go through the sales process. When we did have a quote, we had no idea if we were getting a good deal or ripped off. We built a site where you can see what other companies are actually paying for SaaS and enterprise software. Buyers contribute prices via quotes, pricing proposals, and other documentation to ensure quality. We unlocked Talkdesk for Show HN users so that you can use the…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
