Why we built StackList

The existing SaaS directories — G2, Capterra, GetApp — are built for American audiences. They don't account for GDPR compliance, MTD-ready accounting tools, UK-specific payroll requirements, or the reality that most UK founders need tools that price in pounds, integrate with Companies House, and keep data in European data centres.

StackList was created to fix that. We're an independent, editorially curated directory of the best SaaS tools for UK businesses — verified, categorised, and updated every week.

Our editorial principles

No pay-to-rank. Sponsored listings are clearly marked. Our editorial ordering is based on quality, relevance, and user ratings — not how much a company pays us.

GDPR first. Every tool we verify is checked for GDPR compliance, data residency, and privacy policy quality. We won't list tools that put your users' data at risk.

Human reviewed. Every submission is reviewed by our editorial team before going live. No automated approvals, no bots, no shortcuts.

What we look for in a tool

• Does it serve the UK market properly? (GDPR compliance, UK integrations like Xero and GoCardless, fair pricing in GBP)
• Is it genuinely useful at its price point?
• Does it have real traction with UK teams?
• Is pricing transparent and upfront — no hidden fees?

Our values

Our review process

Every tool page on StackList includes hands-on testing or deep research by our team, a clear breakdown of pricing and features, honest pros and cons, and UK-specific context (GDPR, integrations, local pricing).

We update listings quarterly. If something changes — pricing, features, a new competitor — we refresh the page within two weeks.

The team

We're a small team of developers, product designers, and SaaS operators based in London. We use the tools we list, and we're passionate about helping UK founders build better businesses.
