How to Export Software Advice Reviews to CSV/Excel (2025 Guide)
Extract Software Advice B2B software reviews — ratings, pros/cons, reviewer job titles, and company details — into a clean spreadsheet for procurement research and competitive intelligence.
Software Advice is one of the leading B2B software review platforms, trusted by enterprise procurement teams and IT decision-makers evaluating hundreds of software categories. Its reviews are uniquely rich: reviewers typically disclose their job title, company size, industry, and how long they have used the software, alongside structured pros, cons, and overall ratings. For market researchers, sales intelligence teams, and enterprise software vendors, this structured data is exceptionally valuable — but the platform offers no bulk export functionality. The Software Advice Reviews Exporter Chrome extension fills that gap, letting you download the entire review dataset for any product in seconds.
Step 1: Install the Chrome Extension
Open the Chrome Web Store and navigate to the Software Advice Reviews Exporter listing. Click Add to Chrome and confirm the permissions dialog. The extension installs instantly and the icon appears in your Chrome toolbar — no account creation or sign-up required.
Requirements: Chrome 88+ · Works on all Software Advice product review pages · No login required
Step 2: Navigate to a Software Advice Product Page
Go to softwareadvice.com/[category]/[product]-p[id]/ for the software product you want to research. Software Advice covers CRM, ERP, HR software, project management tools, and hundreds of other B2B categories. You can export reviews for any product listed on the platform, regardless of whether your organisation has purchased it. This makes the extension ideal for pre-purchase evaluation and competitive landscape mapping.
Step 3: Click the Extension Icon and Export
Click the Software Advice Reviews Exporter icon in your browser toolbar. The popup displays the number of reviews available on the current page. Choose your format:
- • CSV — best for importing into data analysis tools, CRM enrichment, or sharing with technical stakeholders
- • Excel (.xlsx) — best for procurement comparison matrices, stakeholder presentations, and pivot-table analysis
Click Start Export. The extension paginates through all reviews automatically and saves a file named software_advice_reviews_[product]_[date].csv to your Downloads folder. A typical product with 200–500 reviews exports in under 60 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the export include reviewer job titles and company sizes?
Yes. Software Advice reviewers self-report their role, company size, and industry, and the extension captures all of these fields when they are present. This contextual data is what makes Software Advice reviews particularly valuable for B2B research.
Can I export reviews for multiple products and combine them?
Yes. Export each product separately to individual CSV files, then combine them in Excel or a data tool by adding a product_name column before merging. This makes side-by-side competitive comparison straightforward.
Are the pros and cons exported as separate fields?
Yes. Software Advice structures its review form to capture pros and cons in separate text fields, and the extension preserves this separation in the exported file, making it easy to analyse positive and negative sentiment independently.
