About
Software reviews you can actually trust.
CandorSaaS is an independent review site for business software, started in 2026 by a solo reviewer writing under the pen name Alex Rowan. It exists because choosing software shouldn’t mean trusting lists written to earn commissions.
Why we exist
Most “best software” lists are built to earn referral fees, not to help buyers. We want the opposite: every score comes from hands-on testing, the scoring method is public, and vendors can’t buy their way up.
Why a pen name?
Reviews should be judged on their evidence, not on who wrote them. Writing under a pen name keeps the focus on the testing and the method — both of which are published in full on every review.
Where we are right now
We’re just getting started. Reviews on the homepage marked “Sample” are placeholders that show the layout. Real, tested reviews are being written now. Subscribe to hear when the first ones go live.
How we make money
Right now, we don’t. In the future we may earn referral fees from some links and run sponsored placements. Pages with referral links will say so, sponsored placements will always be labeled, and neither will ever change a score or a ranking. Vendors can’t pay for reviews.
