Pricing

Free to list. Pay only for placement.

An editor writes your profile, reads your pricing page, and publishes what your free tier actually gives people. Your listing is permanent and free — you pay only for the placement you add on top of it.

Your listing is permanent · Cancel placement any time · Pay after you approve · Corrections always free

You read your finished listing before you pay a cent.

We write it first and send you the whole thing. Approve it and we invoice; walk away and you owe nothing and keep the draft. Your money is never sitting with us waiting on work.

Paid tiers buy placement and speed — never a better verdict.

We publish up to three free listings a day, so the earliest free launch date you can book is 60 days out, and a person checks every submission before its founder page goes live. Fast-track and above book any date from 48 hours out.

Why list with us

No inflated traffic promises — just a genuinely curated listing that readers and search engines can trust.

Hand-reviewed, never auto-published

Every tool is checked by a named editor before it goes live — no scraped or spammy listings.

A permanent page

Every approved tool gets a lasting URL that stays live. Fast-track and above get a full, editor-written review built to be found in search.

Curated, not a dumping ground

We keep the directory small and genuinely vetted, so listings get seen instead of buried under thousands.

You pick the launch date

Choose your go-live date when you submit. Free books 60 days out, Fast-track from 48 hours — full days are shown, no vague queue.

Every plan, line by line

Including the rows most directories leave out — what the link is marked as, and what money does not buy.

FAQ

Questions we actually get asked

Including the two most people are too polite to ask — what happens if the listing is wrong, and whether money buys a better verdict.

Fast-track ($29 one-time) gets you a full, editor-written review page — pricing read from your own site, built to be indexed by search engines — written and sent to you within 48 hours instead of the 60-day free queue, on any launch date you book from 48 hours out. Enhanced ($49 per month) keeps an existing listing in the homepage rotation for as long as you stay, with a long-form profile of up to 1,000 words and video and image embeds; cancel any time and your listing stays live permanently, it just returns to the standard editorial profile. The Launch Kit ($199 one-time) is a permanent placement in a relevant published comparison article, with 60 days of homepage rotation included, listing as an alternative across your category's tool pages, internal links where editorially relevant, and a delivery report with every live URL. Because these are paid placements, the outbound link is marked rel="sponsored" as advertising rules require.
No. If we have published something inaccurate about your tool — outdated pricing, a wrong free-tier limit, a renamed product — that is our error and we fix it free, whatever plan you are on. We only charge for enhancements you are adding, never for accuracy you are owed.
No. Paid tiers buy placement, speed and our time, never a better verdict. Ratings, editor reviews and free-tier verification are not for sale — which is why there is no purchasable 'verified' badge on any plan, at any price.
You choose your own launch date when you submit. We publish up to three free listings a day, so the earliest free date you can book is 60 days out, and fully booked days are greyed out. A person checks every submission; once approved, a free tool goes live as a founder-submitted page in the first weekly update on or after its date. That page is in your own words, kept out of search results, and links to you with nofollow until an editor writes it up — which happens on merit, not on a timer. Fast-track and above book any date from 48 hours out.
No. Nothing is due when you order and no payment details are taken. An editor writes your listing first and sends it to you within 48 hours — the full profile, exactly as it will publish. You read it, ask for changes if you want them, and only once you approve it do we invoice you. If you decide against it you owe nothing, we do not publish, and you keep the draft. Payment comes after the work, not before it.
Only one tier recurs. Fast-track ($29) and the Launch Kit ($199) are one-time and never expire. Enhanced is $49 per month because what it sells is rented space — the homepage rotation — and you can cancel it any time. Whatever you do, your listing itself is permanent and free: cancelling drops the rotation and returns the long-form profile to the standard editorial one, it never unpublishes you. You are never charged on the site, and nothing is due when you order: we write your listing first and send you the whole thing to read. Only once you approve it do we invoice.

Still have questions?

Ask before you pay. The editor who reviews your listing is the one who answers, and we would rather talk you out of the wrong tier than sell you it.
