Where Clutch shines

Agency discovery & comparison

Clutch is a category leader for enterprise buyers researching agencies. If you run a 10+ person shop and want to be discovered by enterprise procurement teams, Clutch has strong B2B reach.

Structured third-party reviews

Clutch reviews are conducted as structured interviews by Clutch analysts. That thoroughness gives them a degree of credibility with corporate buyers who are accustomed to vendor vetting.

Market positioning signal

Being on Clutch's Top Agency lists carries weight in certain industries. For agencies pursuing $50K+ contracts, the association has real marketing value.

Where showreceipts wins

Built for individuals, not agencies

Clutch is designed for companies with multiple people and multiple clients. showreceipts is built specifically for freelancers, consultants, coaches, and solopreneurs — the profile design, the verification flow, the sharing experience.

Works from your first client

Clutch requires a critical mass of reviews before you have a meaningful presence. showreceipts gives you a live, shareable profile from your very first testimonial. No minimum. No waiting period.

Shareable as a single link

Your showreceipts profile lives at one clean URL you can put in any proposal, email signature, or LinkedIn bio. Clutch profiles are embedded in a directory — they're not personal links.

Automatic, not manual

Clutch requires your client to fill a survey. showreceipts sends the verification request automatically after a project closes — and the client signs off with a single click.

“I tried getting on Clutch for 6 months. The barrier is just too high for a solo consultant — you need a pile of reviews before anyone even sees you. showreceipts had me live in 10 minutes with my first testimonial. Three of my last five clients found me through my profile link.”
