Our Journey
From a quiet idea to a growing research platform
The idea began in 2024 and gradually developed into SoftFinders, an independent platform for organising, researching, and comparing AI software more clearly.
2024
The idea
Born from frustration with cluttered, pay-to-play software directories and unclear product comparisons.
2025
The research desk
The idea was refined into a vendor-neutral research approach for reviewing software features, pricing, use cases, and suitability.
2026
SoftFinders platform
The research approach evolved into a live platform for discovering, categorising, and comparing AI software tools.
Today
Growing carefully
SoftFinders is expanding its directory, improving category coverage, and preparing review features as the platform grows.
