About

AuditedStack is an independent comparison site for the software agencies, consultants and creators pay for every month. It's written by a Chartered Accountant with fifteen years inside finance systems, who has bought, implemented, reconciled and eventually ripped out more software than most people will ever evaluate. This is that job done in public.

The premise is simple. Most software comparisons are written by people who've never had to explain the invoice. We read pricing pages the way an accountant reads a contract: what does it cost on the plan you'll actually be on in six months, what's metered on top, what does it lock you into, and what breaks when you grow. Then we build the same thing on every tool, label what's been tested and what's documentation-based, and tell you which one we'd pay for.

What you get on every page

Dated pricing in USD and AUD, taken from the vendor's own page and re-checked; the date is on every table. The plan you'd really need, not the one on the left of the pricing table. Transaction fees and metered usage called out. Who each tool is wrong for, in plain words. And one clear recommendation, because a comparison that ends in "it depends" wasted your time.

How the site makes money

Some vendors pay a commission when you subscribe through a link on this site. Those links are labelled "affiliate link", every time. It costs you nothing, and it doesn't touch a ranking; products that pay nothing get the same test and sit on the same page. Full disclosure here.

Who's behind it

AuditedStack Editorial is one person, operating as a sole trader in Adelaide, Australia (ABN 50 136 559 698). We don't publish a personal byline; the work is the credential. Sections marked "documentation-based" are built from the vendor's published plans and limits; sections marked "tested" come from an account we opened and used. Legal operator details are on the terms and privacy pages.
