About Capterra

Who is Capterra?

Capterra helps people find and compare software for their business – any kind of business, small or large, for-profit or nonprofit. We also help software companies reach their target audience more efficiently.

Capterra

The business software industry has been around since the 1950s and, decade after decade, it has experienced the same two problems:

  • Low satisfaction rates. Companies often either buy the wrong software or mismanage what could have been the right software.
  • Software companies spend more money on marketing and selling their software than they do developing it.

Capterra was started in 1999 to address these problems. Our goal is to help organizations make smarter software purchases and to help software companies reach their customers more cost effectively.

Why We Love Software

We believe the software industry makes the world a better place by helping all types of organizations accomplish their missions. For example, software helps:

  • Builders make better homes
  • Doctors provide better care for their patients
  • Teachers spend more time with their students
  • Charities reach more donors
  • Manufacturers make higher quality products
  • Churches better connect with their members
  • Retailers offer better prices
