How are you comparing multiple offers today? (job offers, vendors, SaaS, etc.)

Hey folks,

I’ve been working on a small side project and would really appreciate some honest feedback.

The idea is pretty simple:
Comparing multiple offers (pricing, perks, trade-offs) is surprisingly messy — especially when you're evaluating things like job offers, vendor quotes, or even SaaS plans.

So I built a lightweight tool to make this easier:

Put in multiple offers
Normalize things like compensation, bonuses, or features
Get a clearer side-by-side comparison

Right now it’s very early (basically beta), and I’m trying to figure out:

Does this actually solve a real problem?
What’s missing for it to be genuinely useful?
Who would benefit most from something like this?

Would love to hear:

How are you currently comparing offers?
What’s the most annoying part of that process?
Would you even use something like this?

If anyone’s open to trying it: https://benchmarked-ashen.vercel.app/

    Ran into this exact problem last year comparing vendor quotes for a data pipeline service — one priced per event, another per MTU, a third had a flat rate with overage fees. Totally different structures that made spreadsheet comparisons useless.

    The tricky part for me was always weighting. Like, how much do I care about uptime SLA vs cost vs integration effort? How are you handling that — does the user set custom weights or is it more of a fixed scoring model?
