There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of software brands trying their luck in the market.

The ones that make it big, often have billion-dollar IPOs.

But the ones that don’t get there aren’t necessarily worse off.

In fact, there is a chance they might not have had the opportunity to take off yet or were launched recently.

The 2015 Dublin Web Summit shed light on brands in the software domain that are under the radar but have the potential to break out and become driving forces in their niches.

In this article, we will be focusing on not 5, not 10, but 30 of the top promising software brands today and analyzing each one in detail.

Each of these brands has been selected from the Summit and the promise they showed when represented at the event is the main reason they make the list.

Interview with LeftStuff :

Q1: What makes your application stand out?

We’re a video tool that make it easy to record family stories that matter.

We built our tool for the tech-challenged so its simple. As we believe everyone should have a video of their parent’s or grandparent’s favorite stories–better yet their life story, which includes advice and family history.

It just had to be simple.

Our platform offers guides that you can select or write your own in any language, and teleprompter-like technology- which is then fed to you to keep you on track.

We also allow a user to redo or delete any part of their story at any time (which can’t be done with any other video recording device without complicated editing software)

Q2: Are there any future developments in the works? If so, could you name a few?

Giving the user even more power in a simple way, and adding music and text.

24) LipScore

Customers are the lifeblood of any business, without a doubt.

It is important that businesses heed what their clients say about their products and services so they can improve them and provide 100% satisfaction.

This is where LipScore comes into the picture.

The app provides businesses a platform to receive reviews and ratings from their customers.

Businesses can now get genuine and authentic reviews from their customers and use the data they gather to gain actionable insights into how they can improve their products and services.

The best part is the app verifies genuine reviewers who have actually used the product. They assign all reviews a TrustScore from 1 to 100, which indicate how reliable a particular review is.

Over time, as your business gets more trusted reviews, more people will start trusting your brand and will want to purchase from you over your competitors.

In other words, LipScore provides you a way to foster loyal customers and then use their feedback to attract more customers. The best part is the app is free to use if you receive fewer than 200 ratings in a month.

The pricing is fairly flexible and you can get an estimate of how much you have to pay by entering a number in the calculator provided on the website. As far as the app is concerned, it is well-designed and can be integrated and localized without hassle.

The app also offers a number of other features you can use to attract more customers.

25) Incisively

Data is available in vast volume to anyone who seeks it.

A simple Google search can reveal all there is to know about a particular subject. Yet, at the same time, the data obtained by individuals and businesses is not being used effectively.

This is why they aren’t able to make informed decisions, because they aren’t receiving key insights from the data available to them.

This is where Incisively comes in.

Incisively is a tool designed to enable businesses to view the viability of their ideas in real-time before they implement them.

E.g. if you feel a certain feature can bolster the performance of your app, Incisively can help you test the variations of that idea.

Businesses should know that the ideas they get don’t necessarily deliver the results they anticipate. By testing different variations of that idea, you can rest assured the results will be in line with your expectations before you go ahead and integrate it.

This software can help you do this for all your apps and websites, ensuring you can view the likely impact on conversion rates of each new change you plan to make.

All in all, using Incisively, you can determine the best order for offering your products to your customers. You gain actionable insights into the metrics which matter the most to your customers and you can use that information to streamline your sales and marketing functions.

It is a given that using this software will enable you to boost your sales and even attract more customers.
