About the author Dominik Reuter — Founder & Software Analyst

B.Sc. in e-commerce (THWS Würzburg-Schweinfurt) and years of hands-on online marketing experience. At Toolsplorer I test software the data-driven way: independent review sources, price monitoring, and real user feedback instead of marketing claims.

Our tool profiles combine structured data from independent review platforms (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, Product Hunt), Reddit discussions, price monitoring, and GitHub metrics. AI drafts the descriptive sections from this data; scores are calculated, never AI-guessed. Found an error? Tell us and we will fix it. How we score →
