How this site works

What gets listed

Real, working, currently-operating products that a business could buy today. We skip abandoned tools, waitlists, and anything that is a landing page with no product behind it. When a listed product dies, it comes off.

How entries are written

Every description is written here, not pasted from the vendor's marketing. That means no “revolutionary,” no “game-changing,” and no feature list padded to look impressive. If a tool is expensive, complicated, or only worth it at a certain size, the entry says so.

How a price gets checked

We fetch the vendor's own pricing page and read the entry price off it. A figure is only marked as checked when it survives a mechanical test: the exact sentence it came from has to appear in the bytes we downloaded, and the price has to appear inside that sentence. Anything that fails stays labelled indicative and says so on the page. That is deliberately strict — it caught our own starting figures being wrong on more than half the pages it could read.

We keep every reading rather than only the newest, and we read the Internet Archive's copies of the same pages going back to 2021, through exactly the same test. That is what the price history on each product page is, and what price changes is built from. A change is only published when nothing about our own reading explains it, so the list is shorter than the truth on purpose.

What we deliberately don't do

• No star ratings or review counts. Every directory that shows them has either done enormous survey work or made them up, and we have not done the survey work.
• No “#1 best tool of 2026” rankings. The best tool depends on the job, which is why the site is organised around jobs.
• No invented discount codes. See the disclosure.

Getting listed

Free, through the submission form. A human reads each one, and there is no paid fast lane into the index — money cannot get a product listed, or move one up once it is.

The one place money does decide the order is the leaderboard, which is a separate board where the ranking is openly the amount paid and every row says so. It has no effect on the index.
