Hands-on software reviews for small businesses
How every score is weighted
Every TechKea score is out of 10 and comes from the same five measures, weighted the same way for every tool. Commission rates never enter it.
| Measure | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of use | 25% | How quickly someone without special training can set it up and get everyday work done. |
| Features for the target user | 25% | Whether it does the jobs a freelancer or small team needs, and does them well. |
| Value for money | 20% | What you get for the price, including what it costs as you add people or grow. |
| Support and reliability | 15% | How easy it is to get a useful answer, and whether the tool stays up and works as promised. |
| Integrations | 15% | How well it connects to the other apps a small business already runs on. |
Each measure is scored out of 10 in half-point steps. The overall score is the weighted total, rounded to one decimal.
