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?

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?
That’s a great example — especially when the pricing models are completely different.
Right now it handles this in two ways:
The idea is to make those trade-offs more explicit without forcing people to start from scratch.
Still trying to figure out if presets actually make this easier or if people prefer doing it their own way.
In your case, would something like a “cost vs reliability” preset have helped, or would you still want full control?
