Frequently asked questions
Is Care Tech Compare really free for the public sector?
Yes. Local Authority and Government teams get free access to browse the full directory, read reviews and shortlist products. There is no cost and no commitment — the platform is funded by supplier listings, not by the people researching technology.
How does this help with market-shaping and commissioning?
You get a single, current view of what care technology exists, what it does and how suppliers position on price and assurance. That makes it easier to brief providers on expectations, signpost proven tools, and understand the digital maturity of your local market when planning commissioning.

Care Tech Compare holds no favourites and takes no commission on sales. Products are presented on equal terms and sit alongside genuine reviews from care providers, so your teams weigh real-world experience rather than marketing claims.
