Why I built Appnostic

Every software buying decision now runs into the same question: what does this actually integrate with? And the honest answer is scattered across a dozen vendor websites, each making claims nobody has checked, some of them years out of date.

I hit it constantly. A client picks a tool, we get three weeks in, and the integration that made the shortlist turns out to be a one-way sync built by a partner who has since gone quiet. That is an expensive way to find out.

One graph instead of twelve tabs

Appnostic scans vendor sites at scale to build a single interconnected view of what connects with what. Crucially it is cross-sector: accounting, fintech, martech, HR and beyond, rather than one directory per niche. Most buying decisions cross those lines anyway, because your CRM has to talk to your finance system whether or not the two live in the same category.

It re-scans monthly, so changes and quiet removals get picked up rather than sitting there as a claim from 2023.

Where it came from

Appnostic is really three things joined up. I had already half built Inside Martech and Inside Fintech, two sector directories that kept running into the same limitation: buyers do not stay inside one sector. Currantly's scanning engine was already doing the hard part, reading and re-checking websites at scale.

Rather than maintain three separate directories, it made far more sense to unify them into one cross-sector tool built on the engine that already worked.

What it is and is not

These are vendor claims, read from vendor sites. Treat the output as a well-researched shortlist, not a guarantee. Verify the specifics before you sign. What Appnostic saves you is the fortnight of tab-opening that normally comes first.
