How to choose

Which data sources does it need to connect to?

Choose a tool that connects to the data sources your team needs to review. Compare the listed data source connectors and check whether an API is available if that matters to your setup.

Which engineering metrics should it report?

Start with the measures you want to review. Compare support for DORA metrics, delivery metrics, developer experience surveys and team-level reporting.

Where does the tool need to run?

Match the deployment option and platform marks to your needs. Options shown for this category include web, API access, self-hosting, Linux, macOS and Windows.

How should I compare prices and free plans?

Check whether a tool has a free plan, a free trial or a paid starting price. Pricing may be per user, monthly, annual or available on request, so compare the stated terms that apply to your team.

Does open-source code matter for my choice?

If you need to inspect or change the code, check the open-source mark and the tool's licence. A free plan is not the same as open-source code.
