We Don’t Review "Apps." We Review Tools.
If you’re reading this, you probably spend more time in a truck or on a job site than you do in an ergonomic office chair. You don’t care about “synergy,” “scaling,” or “disrupting the industry.”
You just want to know if the thing actually works.
That’s why Sensible Picks exists.
The Problem with Tech Reviews
Most software reviews are written by tech journalists who have never framed a wall, wired a panel, or chased a client for a past-due invoice. They obsess over features you’ll never use and ignore the one thing that actually matters: Simplicity.
We got tired of seeing good contractors get sold expensive, bloated “Enterprise” software that takes a PhD to operate.
The "Sensible" Standard
We are an independent team focused on the trades. We test software and services with a single question in mind: “Will this help a contractor get the job done and get home faster?”
If a tool fails any of these tests, it doesn’t make the cut:
The “Thumb” Test: Can you use the main features on a smartphone with one hand?
The “Pricing” Test: Are the prices transparent, or do they force you to “Call for a Quote”?
The “Speed” Test: Does it save time, or does it just create more admin work?
Our Promise
We cut through the marketing fluff to find the gear that works as hard as you do. Whether it’s a virtual phone line to keep your personal life private, or estimating software that wins bids on the spot.
If it’s on this site, it’s because it makes sense for your business.
