Pricing
The gate is never for sale.
The spotlight is.
Being listed is free, forever. What's for sale is placement (monthly, cancel anytime) and link equity (one payment, permanent) — two different things, priced apart, better together:
1 Own your link — $29, once, permanent2 Add placement — first month 50% off, automatic
Nothing is for sale on this directory right now — every listing is free.
Money buys placement and link equity — never publication, a better score, or softer cons. How the research works →
What happens when I cancel?
Cancelling stops future charges. Your placement stays until the paid period ends, then the listing reverts to a regular free listing. The page keeps its URL, its history and its score — nothing is unpublished, ever. A do-follow you bought is untouched: it's permanent and doesn't depend on any subscription.
Does Featured or Premium change my link?
No — placement never touches your link's rel. Do-follow comes only from the one-time $29 purchase or free, earned badge verification. Buying both directions is rewarded: own the do-follow and your first placement month is 50% off, applied automatically at checkout.
Does paying change how you review or score my agent?
No. Research, the quality gate, the score, and the cons are the same for free and paid listings. Paying changes where you appear — never what we say.
I haven't submitted yet — can I buy placement first?
Submit first (it's free and takes about a minute — the research agent does the work). Placement attaches to a real, researched listing — you can upgrade from your dashboard the moment it exists.
Do I get an invoice, and how do I manage the subscription?
Checkout runs through Stripe — the receipt lands in your inbox immediately, VAT details can be added at checkout, and your dashboard opens the Stripe portal to update, upgrade or cancel anytime.
