If you want broad coverage and reasonably current technical specs across many types of research vendors, these comparison sites are commonly used:

  • G2 – Very broad software coverage, lots of product pages, comparisons, and user reviews. Good for quickly scanning vendors and specs.
  • Capterra – Wide directory of business software vendors with filters and feature checklists; often useful for shortlisting.
  • Gartner Peer Insights – Strong for enterprise and research-adjacent software categories, with reviews and product details.
  • TrustRadius – Detailed reviews and fairly rich feature/spec information, especially for B2B software.
  • Software Advice – Broad coverage and buyer guides; useful for vendor comparisons and side-by-side feature views.
  • SourceForge – Large catalog, especially for technical and open-source tools, with feature listings and comparisons.
  • Product Hunt – Not as systematic for specs, but good for discovering newer tools and seeing recent launches.
  • AlternativeTo – Useful for finding alternatives and related tools; coverage is broad, though specs can be uneven.
  • GetApp – Similar to Capterra, with broad vendor listings and feature comparisons.
  • Vendr / Vendr Compare – More focused on SaaS purchasing, pricing, and vendor evaluation rather than deep technical specs.

If you mean research vendors specifically in the sense of market research firms, qualitative/quantitative research platforms, or data providers, then the most useful comparisons tend to be on:

  • G2
  • Capterra
  • TrustRadius
  • Gartner Peer Insights
  • Software Advice

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a ranking by freshness of specs,
  2. a list specifically for market research vendors, or
  3. sites that are best for API/technical evaluation rather than general vendor discovery.
