We Identify, Review and Rank the Best Products and Services

SideBySideReviews.com is a free buyers guide packed with reviews and requires no membership. Users can read or write a review about other companies' products or services, compare side-by-side ratings of the top 10 best suppliers, or request to review price comparisons from top companies.

Have a negative review? We want those too — and we want to hear from you. Don't be shy. You've been done wrong; don't let them get away with it. Documented bad experiences help other business buyers avoid the same pitfalls and apply pressure on bad-actor vendors to clean up their service.

Had a great experience? They deserve your praise and support — and most importantly, you're helping American businesses and consumers make better buying decisions. Positive reviews from real customers are how good vendors stay accountable to delivering consistent quality, year after year.

Our editorial team continuously updates rankings to reflect the actual current 2026 market. Major industry shifts captured in our reviews include the Cerner-to-Oracle Health rebrand, the WillScot Mobile Mini merger, the Vend/ShopKeep integration into Lightspeed, the Mitel exit from UCaaS, the Kareo+PatientPop merger to form Tebra, and the Pac-Van acquisition by United Rentals. When you research with us, you're getting the current market reality — not advice based on a vendor landscape from 3-5 years ago.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Side By Side Reviews?
Side By Side Reviews is a free B2B research and quote comparison platform helping business buyers compare top-rated providers across more than 70 categories — from office equipment and telecom systems to industrial machinery and software platforms. Every category includes detailed top-10 rankings with real 2026 pricing, feature comparisons, and free side-by-side quote comparison from pre-screened suppliers. Founded in 2013 by Hudson Piccini, we've helped tens of thousands of business buyers research providers, compare quotes, and save money on major business purchases.
Is Side By Side Reviews really free?
Yes — completely free for buyers, with no obligation, no hidden fees, and no contracts. Buyers can browse reviews, request quotes, compare proposals, ask questions, and walk away without buying anything — all at zero cost. We never require your financial information or credit card. Suppliers pay us when we connect them with qualified buyer leads, which is how we keep the service free for businesses doing research.
How does the quote comparison process work?
It takes about 30 seconds to fill out our quote request form. Once submitted, we match you with up to 5-6 pre-screened suppliers in your category, who typically respond within 1 business day with competitive quotes. You'll receive contacts directly from suppliers via email or phone, and you control the conversation pace from there. There's no obligation — you can compare quotes, ask questions, and walk away without buying anything.
How much can I save using Side By Side Reviews?
Buyers using our quote comparison service save an average of 20-35% versus signing direct with the first provider they contact. The savings come from competitive pressure — when 3-5 suppliers know they're competing for your business, they offer better pricing, more flexible terms, waived setup fees, and longer-term discounts. Savings vary by category (typically 15-25% on commodity services like office cleaning, 30-50% on negotiable categories like copier leases or merchant processing rates).
What B2B categories do you cover?
We cover 70+ B2B categories spanning 200+ industries. Major categories include: Call Centers (answering services, telemarketing, appointment setting), Facilities (cleaning, water delivery), Finance (factoring, collections, equipment leasing), Furniture, Generators, Healthcare (EMR, medical billing, transcription), HR (outsourcing, PEO, payroll, time tracking), Industrial (forklifts, mobile offices, steel buildings), Internet (web hosting, design), Mailing Equipment (postage meters, letter folding), Marketing, Office Equipment (copiers, document management, wide format printers), Restaurant Services (ice machines), Retail Solutions (ATMs, credit card processing, POS), Security & Surveillance, Software (antivirus, recruiting, document management), Telecom (phone systems, VoIP, hosted PBX), Transportation, and Coffee/Water Service.
Are the suppliers pre-screened?
Yes — we vet suppliers before adding them to our network. Vetting includes verifying business registration and licensing where applicable, checking customer reviews on third-party platforms (BBB, Google Reviews, Trustpilot), confirming they offer the services they claim, and validating their pricing falls within reasonable market ranges. We periodically remove suppliers whose service quality has declined based on buyer feedback. While we can't guarantee any specific outcome, our pre-screening eliminates the worst providers in each category.
Do I have to buy from one of the suppliers you match me with?
No — you're under no obligation to buy from anyone. You can request quotes, compare providers, ask questions, walk away without buying, buy from a supplier we matched you with, buy from a different supplier entirely, or postpone the decision to a later date. We exist to make B2B research easier and faster for buyers, not to pressure you into any specific decision.
How are the reviews and rankings determined?
Our rankings combine multiple data sources: real published pricing (preferring transparent pricing over “contact sales” walls), aggregated third-party reviews (BBB ratings, consumer complaint forums, social media signals, Trustpilot, Google Reviews), feature completeness, integration depth, contract flexibility, customer support quality, and market currency. Our editorial team applies these criteria consistently across each category and produces top-10 rankings reflecting our independent assessment. Vendors cannot pay for higher rankings — editorial decisions are walled off from our sales team.
Is my information secure when I request quotes?
Yes — we follow industry-standard data security practices and only share your contact information with the specific suppliers matched to your request. We never require your financial information or credit card. We don't sell your information to data brokers, third-party advertisers, or unrelated companies. After you receive quotes, you control the relationship with each supplier directly and can opt out of further contact at any time.
How can I leave a review or share my experience?
You can leave a review on any of our category pages — most pages include a comment section at the bottom where readers share their experiences with specific providers. We invite both positive and negative reviews. Documented negative experiences help other buyers avoid the same pitfalls. Positive reviews keep good vendors accountable for delivering consistent quality. Use our category directory to find the relevant page for your provider and share your story.
Can suppliers join the Side By Side Reviews network?
Yes — visit our Become A Vendor page to learn how suppliers can join our lead generation network. We work with suppliers across all 70+ categories on a pay-for-performance basis. We also offer review opportunities via our Get Reviewed page and accept supplier-submitted articles via Submit Articles for additional visibility.
