How it works

A decision brief should show its work.

Worthd weighs the job you need done, the context around it, and the cost of getting the choice wrong. No single score can replace that judgment, so we explain the reasons and the tradeoffs.

The free renewal check

From the facts you enter to the next check.

Start with one subscription.

The product name is the only required field. Dates, terms, value, business impact and other evidence are optional. Missing information stays unknown.

Calculate the notice deadline.

When you supply both a renewal date and notice term, Worthd subtracts the notice days from that date. An October 12 renewal with a 30-day term gives September 12. This is an illustrative calculation, not a verified contract interpretation. Confirm notice methods, cutoffs and exceptions in your agreement.

Order attention, not permission to cancel.

The queue combines timing with entered value, usage, seats, possible workflow overlap, missing ownership and relevant vendor changes. Approaching or passed notice dates add urgency. The timing labels distinguish the next 14, 45 and 90 days; old dates need fresh terms. These are Worthd's planning rules, not vendor requirements or predictions.

Keep opinion and evidence separate.

Value and business impact come from your assessment. “Reported valuable” is not an independent verification. Readiness counts completed evidence fields; it does not prove the inputs are correct. Low usage or category overlap alone does not justify a cut.

Check one missing fact, then save your work.

The brief points to a missing date, term, value signal, dependency or owner that could change the next step. Register, calendar and print/PDF exports are free. The register stays in this browser for up to 90 days; export a copy for longer use. There is no account sync or automatic email reminder.

What remains your decision

The check does not discover subscriptions, measure live usage, guarantee savings, negotiate, cancel software or replace legal and security review. Your contract and current vendor quote control. An official source adds context only when it applies to your product, plan and account.

Software selection and editorial research

How Worthd evaluates product fit.

Start with the job

We begin with what must improve: selling, supporting customers, running projects, automating work, managing money, or another concrete outcome. Categories are useful, but the job comes first.

Add the business context

Team size, business model, stage, existing stack, buying preference, and implementation appetite can change a strong product into the wrong recommendation.

Check product evidence

We use official product information, documentation, release notes, pricing pages, and other primary sources where possible. Important claims receive a last-reviewed date and are revisited when a meaningful change is detected.

Compare the close calls

Recommendations are tested against credible alternatives. We ask where each tool is strongest, what creates friction, and which use case justifies choosing one over another.

Explain the tradeoff

A Worthd verdict should tell you why a product fits and what to watch before committing. If the evidence is incomplete, we say so instead of inventing precision.

Keep money separate from merit

Affiliate relationships may affect whether Worthd earns from an outbound link. They do not determine inclusion, rank, or verdict. Commercial links are tracked and disclosed.

Pricing standard

Current vendor pricing, with assumptions made clear.

Worthd explains how pricing works without presenting a copied checkout amount as the price a visitor will receive. Reviewed pages link to the official pricing source, name the factors that can change the total, and show when the information was last reviewed.

Pricing guidance is based on official vendor sources, with the relevant plan, billing terms, and limits made explicit. Check the linked source before buying: your quote and contract determine what you pay.

Worthd does not treat unverified third-party pricing or a product being labeled free as decision-ready evidence. Budget remains a planning guardrail until the current vendor offer is confirmed.

Editorial standards

Source first

Material changes are confirmed against a primary source before they become published guidance.

Decision focused

Know who a change affects, why it matters, and what to check before your next software decision.

Corrections welcome

Software changes quickly. If something is wrong or stale, use the contact page and choose “Correction or update.”

How we use editorial tools

Worthd uses automation and AI-assisted tools to help monitor sources, organize research, and prepare drafts. These tools can miss changes or introduce errors; their use does not guarantee complete coverage or accuracy. Worthd is responsible for its published guidance and corrections. Check the cited vendor source and your own contract before acting.
