The Vetted & Better Alternative to G2
Tired of fake reviews and pay-to-play rankings? Get featured on Cubbie — the new, trusted directory optimized for AI search.
Transparent pricing.
Real credibility.
Actual ROI.
Cubbie is the vetted software directory where credibility & trust meets visibility. Getting listed & featured helps get your product shown in AI search results and earn buyer trust.
Leading software companies choose Cubbie to build authority, increase discoverability across AI platforms like ChatGPT and Claude, and connect with decision-makers actively searching for solutions.
P.S. G2's recent acquisition of Capterra (January 29, 2026) means they now have a greater monopoly on the software directory space, which could mean they'll increase prices & further squeeze SaaS firms. Read authentic conversations on Reddit.
Many software companies are ditching G2, or at a minimum - diversifying their presence.
Why Software Vendors Are Leaving G2
❌ Fake Reviews & Manipulated Rankings
G2 incentivizes reviews with gift cards and allows vendors to game the system. Buyers can't trust what they see, and legitimate products get buried.
❌ Hidden Pricing & Expensive Lock-Ins
G2 doesn't publish pricing. Most vendors pay $15,000-$50,000+ annually with long-term contracts and aggressive upsells.
❌ Low-Quality Traffic
G2 attracts tire-kickers and comparison shoppers. Most visitors aren't decision-makers with budget or intent to purchase.
❌ Not Built for AI Search
As buyers shift to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for software research, G2 listings aren't optimized to show up in these results.
Side-by-Side Comparison
Launched in 2025, Cubbie.com is rapidly becoming the preferred marketplace that enterprises trust to find & discover software. It pays to get in early!
The new, #1 trusted platform to find great software
A letter from the co-founder
Today, software discovery is broken. Buyers can't trust what they find.
Platforms like G2, Capterra, and TrustRadius have become pay-to-play review mills filled with fake testimonials, manipulated rankings, and aggressive sales tactics. Meanwhile, buyers are increasingly turning to AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc.) to research software, but most products aren't showing up in these results.
We built Cubbie to fix both problems.
Cubbie is a rigorously vetted software directory that serves two critical functions: trust and discoverability. We manually curate every listing using our 8-point evaluation criteria, ensuring only legitimate, high-quality products make it onto our platform.
We're building the future of software discovery by optimizing your presence for AI search engines. Being listed & featured on Cubbie helps your product show up when enterprise buyers ask ChatGPT or Claude for any software solution (via authoritative, 3rd party citations).
Our operational goals are simple: 1) list & feature great software products; and 2) onboard millions of enterprise buyers to find & get software.
This is a platform built for the long-term. Companies that join Cubbie gain:
- Credibility: Our vetting process signals quality to buyers
- AI Visibility: Optimized for discovery across ChatGPT, Claude, and emerging AI platforms
- Qualified Demand: Direct access to decision-makers actively searching for solutions
- Future-Proof Positioning: As AI reshapes software discovery, you're already there
Our focus is enterprise buyers and Fortune 500 companies searching for trusted solutions. By partnering with Cubbie, you're positioning your product where the market is heading. We look forward to featuring your product on Cubbie and helping you reach the buyers who matter most.
