Helping You Find and Buy the Right Software
Ability Buy is an independent software discovery, comparison and buying website created to help individuals and businesses find software that matches their needs.
The website provides information about software from a range of providers, covering categories including security and antivirus, VPN and online privacy, backup and data recovery, productivity and business, multimedia and creative software, file management, utilities and other specialist software.
Ability Buy does not develop or directly sell the software featured on the website. Instead, we provide product information, comparisons and buying guides to help you research available options before directing you to the relevant software provider or purchase service.
What Ability Buy Does
Choosing software can involve comparing features, supported platforms, plans, pricing, licensing arrangements and intended uses.
Ability Buy brings this information together in one place to make software research easier.
Product pages may include information such as:
- Key product features
- Available plans and licences
- Supported operating systems and platforms
- Pricing information where available
- Product capabilities
- Intended uses
- Frequently asked questions
- Relevant considerations before purchasing
- Links to the software provider or purchase service
Pricing, plans, features and availability can change. Where this information is provided, visitors should check the software provider’s current website and purchase terms before making a purchasing decision.

How Ability Buy Makes Money
Ability Buy is funded primarily through affiliate relationships with software providers and other relevant commercial partners.
Some links on the website are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and subsequently make a qualifying purchase or complete another qualifying action, Ability Buy may receive a commission from the relevant provider or affiliate partner.
Affiliate commissions are generally paid by the provider or affiliate network and do not normally increase the price paid by the customer.
The existence of an affiliate relationship does not mean that a product is suitable for every user. Ability Buy aims to provide useful product information and comparisons so that visitors can make their own informed purchasing decisions.
More information about our commercial relationships is available in our Affiliate Disclosure.
Editorial Independence
Ability Buy aims to keep editorial information and commercial relationships clearly separated.
Software providers and commercial partners do not have the right to determine the conclusions, comparisons or recommendations published on Ability Buy simply because their products are featured on the website or because an affiliate relationship exists.
Commercial relationships may determine which products or providers are available through the website, but they should not be presented as independent evidence that a product is the best choice for a particular user.
Where Ability Buy publishes comparisons or buying guidance, the content is intended to help readers understand relevant differences between products and assess which options may suit their own requirements.
Our editorial approach and publishing standards are explained further in our Editorial Policy and Publishing Principles.
Product Information and Accuracy
Ability Buy aims to provide accurate, useful and understandable information about the software covered by the website.
Software products can change over time. Providers may introduce new features, discontinue features, change supported platforms, alter pricing or modify licensing terms.
For this reason, information published on Ability Buy should not be treated as a substitute for the current information provided by the software publisher.
Where pricing or other time-sensitive information is displayed, visitors should verify the current details with the relevant provider before purchasing.
If you identify an important factual error or outdated information on Ability Buy, you can contact us so that the information can be reviewed.
Product Comparisons
Ability Buy provides product comparisons and buying guides to help visitors understand their available options.
Comparisons may consider factors including:
- Features and functionality
- Supported operating systems
- Plans and licensing
- Pricing and value considerations
- Intended users
- Product capabilities
- Availability
- Practical differences between products
Not every product can be assessed against exactly the same criteria. The factors relevant to one software category may not be relevant to another.
Our Product Review & Comparison Methodology explains how we approach product information, comparisons and related content.
Software Providers
Ability Buy features products from a range of software providers.
Examples of providers represented on the website may include Malwarebytes, F-Secure, McAfee, VIPRE, Sophos, hide.me, MindManager, Troop Messenger, Corel, Roxio, Pinnacle, WinRAR and WinZip.
The inclusion of a software provider or product on Ability Buy does not mean that Ability Buy owns, develops or directly supports that product.
Software publishers and suppliers remain responsible for their own products, services, licensing arrangements, pricing, customer accounts and technical support.
Purchasing Software
Ability Buy does not directly sell the software featured on the website unless a page specifically states otherwise.
When you select a purchase link, you may be transferred to the website of the relevant software provider, retailer or purchase service.
The resulting transaction is subject to the third party’s own:
- Terms and conditions
- Privacy policy
- Licensing terms
- Pricing
- Refund policy
- Payment arrangements
- Customer support procedures
Before purchasing software, check the provider’s current information carefully.

Our Approach
Ability Buy is designed around a straightforward purpose: to make software research easier.
The website focuses on providing clear product information, useful comparisons and practical buying guidance rather than developing the software itself.
We aim to:
- Provide useful and understandable software information
- Clearly identify commercial and affiliate relationships
- Distinguish Ability Buy from the software publishers it features
- Explain relevant differences between products
- Keep information as accurate and current as reasonably possible
- Correct significant factual errors when identified
- Give visitors enough information to make their own purchasing decisions
- Direct customers to the appropriate software provider for purchases and product support
Ability Buy does not claim that one software product is universally best for every user. The appropriate choice depends on factors such as requirements, budget, devices, operating system, features and intended use.
