Terms Of Use

Last updated: 25 Dec 2025

Welcome to CompareSoftware.co.za (“the Website”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
By accessing or using this Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should not use this Website.


1. About CompareSoftware.co.za

CompareSoftware.co.za is an informational website that provides overviews, comparisons and links to third-party software products and services (“Software Providers”). Our goal is to help businesses, professionals and individuals better understand different software options before making a decision.

We do not provide accounting, legal, financial or professional advice. Any decisions you make based on information on this Website are entirely your responsibility.


2. Affiliate Disclosure & How We Get Paid

CompareSoftware.co.za is funded primarily through affiliate relationships and other commercial arrangements with certain Software Providers.

This means:

  • When you click on some links to Software Providers on this Website and
  • You sign up for a free trial, paid plan, or otherwise become a customer;

we may receive a commission, referral fee or other form of compensation at no additional cost to you.

We aim to keep our information as fair and helpful as possible, but you should assume that:

  • Some listings, recommendations or placements on the Website may be influenced by our commercial relationships; and
  • We may prioritise or feature Software Providers with whom we have an affiliate or partner agreement.

However, we do not sell your personal decision-making to any specific brand, and we do not charge you to use this Website.


3. No Advice / No Professional Relationship

All content on CompareSoftware.co.za, including articles, comparisons, reviews, guides and FAQs:

  • Is provided for general information and educational purposes only;
  • Is not tailored to your specific business, financial or legal circumstances; and
  • Should not be relied on as professional advice.

You should always consider your own situation and, where appropriate, consult a qualified professional (e.g. accountant, attorney, financial advisor, or IT specialist) before choosing or implementing any software.
