Deductly vs Benefits Finder

Why not just use the free Government Benefits Finder?

The Government of Canada Business Benefits Finder is real, free, and lists about 1,500 programs. It is the right starting point for a founder who only wants to know what exists. It is also bare-bones in three ways that matter once you actually want money: it does not estimate how much you could get, it does not rank programs by fit or odds, and it hands you the list and says goodbye. Deductly is built around those three gaps.
