Choose between tools without a three-week evaluation

A scorecard that makes a software decision in an hour.

Updated Jul 26, 2026

I'm choosing between tool A, tool B and tool C for purpose. My situation: team size, budget, existing tools it must work with, technical comfort. Build a scorecard with the five criteria that actually matter for my situation, weighted, with each tool scored and a one-line justification. Include a row for the cost of leaving later. Then give a recommendation, name the criterion where my choice is weakest, and list the two questions I should ask each vendor before committing. Say if the honest answer is "any of these would be fine — pick the cheapest".
