I'm the founder of Upmish. For more than eight years I've written tutorials, reviews, comparisons and buying guides for SaaS companies, agencies and creators. Before I write about a platform, I use it in my own account.

What I write about
Most of my work explains software to the people who have to use it or pay for it. I've tested more than 100 platforms, and the list keeps growing because every project starts inside the product, not on its sales page.
On Upmish you'll mostly find the tools small businesses, agencies and course creators run on. My client work is wider than that and covers SaaS in just about any category.

How I test
I sign up, build the thing the article is about, and take the screenshots as I go. That has meant live accounts on GoHighLevel, Kajabi, Kartra, ClickFunnels, SamCart, Systeme.io and many others. Prices come from each platform's own pricing page, and I go back to update articles when something changes.
