Get listed
The people reading this directory are picking the tools they will build on, and they have not paid for anything yet. Getting listed is free and always will be. If you want placement on top of that, there are ten slots. Choose whichever works for you.

We reserve the right to reject any tool that does not have a genuine free plan. If we reject a paid slot, you are refunded in full. A free trial is not a free plan.
What paying does not buy
The only reason this directory is worth being listed in is that readers believe the free plans here are real. So the wall is absolute, and we would rather lose the deal than bend it:
- A free-tier verdict. Those come from your own pricing page, and paying vendors get the same reading as everyone else.
- A position in any ranked or filtered list. Featured slots sit outside the ranking, always labelled.
- Removal of a listed limitation. If the free plan caps you at three seats, that stays on the page.
- A 'best of' entry or a comparison outcome. Ranked lists are not for sale at any price.
- A favourable verdict in commissioned content. You buy the work, not the conclusion, and the cons section stays in.
- A followed link. Everything paid carries rel="sponsored", which is what keeps this site rankable at all.
The directory today
This is a young site and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Ask for the current traffic report and we will send the Search Console and analytics exports rather than a rounded-up number.
Commissioned content
We research and write it, you get it on the site with a clear “paid content” label and rel="sponsored" on your links. You get review and factual correction before it publishes. You do not get to change the conclusion, because a piece nobody believes is worth nothing to either of us.
Deep-dive review
A full review of your free plan: what it does, where it stops, who it suits.
