Why Buy from Etelos
At Etelos, we're experts in on-demand business software. Etelos helps your business succeed by providing high quality Web-based business applications from a variety of vendors — all in one convenient place. The Etelos Marketplace™ also includes listings for select service providers that offer consulting and other professional services to businesses.
Here are some reasons to get your on-demand business software through the Etelos Marketplace.
1. Quality Applications
We scour the market for the best Web-based business applications available. Each application that appears on the Etelos Marketplace has been pre-screened for functionality, performance, usability, quality and value. Here you will find top name vendors along with the best up-and-coming software providers. No need to spend hours browsing individual software sites hoping to find businesses-class Web applications. If you're looking for on-demand software to run your business, we've made your job a lot easier.
2. Low Prices
You never pay extra to purchase applications through the Etelos Marketplace. Etelos doesn't make money by marking up software prices beyond the standard price set by our vendors. Our business model is simple. Our partners give us a small percentage of the transaction amount in return for us providing them with a unique, high-value outlet for reaching business software buyers. This enables us to keep prices low.
3. Free Software
There are three types of free software on the Etelos Marketplace:
- Free trials
allow you to try an application for a limited time before you buy it. You can compare several software applications for free and keep the one
you like best.
- Free versions
of software allow you to use the software as long as you'd like.These
may be advertising-supported versions or limited versions designed to
get you started while providing you with an easy upgrade path when
you're ready to move to a paid version.
- Open source software is offered under a license that allows you to use or even modify the software for free. Etelos offers a Ready-To-Go series of popular open source apps. As with all open source software, these applications are free to use. You pay only for the hosting service.
4. Extraordinary Customer Support
While
you are always free to contact a software vendor directly for customer
support on a product you buy through the Etelos Marketplace, Etelos
maintains its own friendly and professional customer support staff that
provides a single point of contact for resolving problems. Our support staff has a direct
connection to senior technical experts at each of our partner companies. If you have a problem that requires assistance from
the vendor, we'll escalate the issue for you so you can get your issues
resolved quickly and with a single point of contact.
5. Exclusives
Some
software on the Etelos Marketplace cannot be found anywhere else. This
includes Etelos offerings such as Etelos Share™ online document storage. But
it also applies to applications from some of our partners.
6. Product Evaluation Tools
Etelos
provides product information, reviews, articles and other tools to help
you select the right software for your business. Our "editor's
reviews" are written by Etelos business software experts who have years
of hands-on experience in business software. In addition to the unique
information found on the Etelos site, you will find links to reviews,
buying guides, blogs and resources found on other reputable websites. If you're evaluating business software, the Etelos Marketplace is the
best place to start your research.
