# SaaSTweaks

> SaaSTweaks is a curated directory of verified SaaS deals, startup credits, and software discounts for founders, bootstrappers, and engineering teams. We compare 550+ SaaS tools across 100+ categories with real pricing data, side-by-side comparisons, exclusive founder-rate discounts, and 270+ free startup credit programmes (AWS Activate, Google for Startups, Microsoft Founders Hub, Anthropic, OpenAI, plus 200 more). Every scored tool carries the SaaSTweaks Score — a deterministic 6-pillar 0–100 rating with a public methodology (/how-we-score).

Every deal on the site is verified by our editorial team. We publish data-rich buying guides, churn benchmarks, CAC analyses, and tool comparisons grounded in named primary sources (SaaS Capital, ChartMogul, Gartner, OpenView, BetterCloud). Content uses UK English and is updated regularly with 2026 data.

## What we do

- Compare SaaS pricing and features across CRM, analytics, email, project management, compliance, AI tools, dev tools, customer support, payments, accounting, and more
- Aggregate startup credit programmes (AWS Activate, Google Cloud for Startups, Microsoft Founders Hub, Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub for Startups, Vanta, Drata, plus 220+ more)
- Publish data-driven research on SaaS benchmarks (churn, NRR, CAC, LTV, pricing models, GTM motions)
- Maintain head-to-head comparisons, alternatives pages, and category buyers' guides

## Editorial principles

- Every claim is backed by a specific number or named source.
- We use UK English: optimise, analyse, behaviour, centre.
- All blog content is human-edited, fact-checked, and updated as the market moves.
- We earn affiliate commissions on some deals; this never changes our editorial verdicts.
