G2 and Capterra rank platforms by popularity and user reviews — they tell you what other people experienced, not whether a platform fits your specific business. StaqPilot scores against the structural shape of your business: how your revenue works, what your team looks like, what tools you use, and what you actually need the platform to do.

We score six platforms that represent the realistic options for SMEs: HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, Freshworks CRM, Zoho CRM, HighLevel, and Brevo. We deliberately exclude enterprise-first platforms, zombie platforms, and closed systems that create more risk than value for small and mid-sized businesses.

Constraint is what makes it useful. We score 6 platforms well rather than 600 platforms badly. Every platform in the model is one we've evaluated deeply — architecture, pricing model, integration depth, roadmap trajectory. The exclusion report explains why others didn't make the cut.

Yes. The diagnostic, the scored results, and the full report are free. StaqPilot is built by Fly, a martech consultancy. If your results suggest a conversation would be useful, we offer a free 15-minute validation call. There's no obligation and no upsell during the diagnostic.

Under 5 minutes. 12 questions, some with follow-up sub-questions if they apply to your situation. Most users complete it in 3–4 minutes.
