Read our methodology →BEFORE YOU BUY
Choose a package and share a working website, sources and contact email.
We confirm suitability, capacity, deliverables and timing before any purchase.
Review the scope and purchase terms. During the pilot, your request is free.
A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
The directory, published cases, search, saves, comparison and CSV export are available in the free pilot. The paid packages describe proposed editorial services. Requests are open; checkout is not open, and submitting a request takes no payment.
No. Launch, Growth and Spotlight are one-time proposals for one project. Spotlight describes one 7-day campaign, not a recurring monthly placement. All prices are in US dollars.
Share your project and contact email. We review fit, available capacity and source material, then agree the exact deliverables, price and schedule with you before offering a purchase. A request creates no subscription and does not reserve a placement.
Payment does not buy verification. The same source, ownership, product-scope and freshness checks apply to every project. A paid request cannot change reported revenue, bypass editorial review or purchase an organic ranking.
Sponsored placements will be labeled Sponsored. A commissioned founder interview or case will disclose the commercial relationship. Paid preparation does not guarantee publication; public evidence still needs to meet our methodology.
No API key is needed to browse, submit a project or request a package. An optional connection to your own payment provider is a separate step used only when you choose to verify revenue.
No card details or payment are collected on this page. Before checkout becomes available, the purchase screen will confirm deliverables, timing, payment and cancellation terms. You can leave the free pilot without buying a package.
