What we will not do
These rules are the reason a placement here is worth buying at all — a directory visitors distrust is worthless to advertise on.
- Organic listings are not for sale. No payment moves a program up a category page, into "popular", or into a comparison verdict.
- Every paid placement is labelled "Sponsored" or "Featured", visibly, on the placement itself.
- Sponsored cards never imitate organic results. They carry distinct styling as well as the label.
- No deceptive patterns. No pop-ups, no forced redirects, no fake download buttons, no ads that cover content or interrupt navigation.
- No invented metrics. We publish no download counts, star ratings or user numbers — including for advertisers.
- We decline software that bundles adware, misrepresents its licence, or fails our submission guidelines, at any price.

Already listed?
A free listing needs no payment and never expires. If your software is already in the directory and a detail is wrong, tell us — corrections are free and we treat them as priority fixes. If you'd like your software removed, we'll action that promptly too.
