Every tool in the directory has a card in the lists and its own page. Both show the same basic facts. This article explains what you're looking at and how much weight to give each part.
The card in lists
On the tools page, in categories and on tag pages, each tool appears as a card with its logo, name, a short description and a pricing label. Some cards carry a black "Featured" label. That means the owner paid for promoted placement, which is why it sits near the top. Featured does not mean we tested it or think it's better.
The tool page
Click a card to open the tool's page at /tools/tool-name. There you'll find:
- The description. It describes the product the way its owner sees it.
- The pricing type. Free, Freemium, Paid, Free Trial or Open Source. This is a quick guide only. Exact prices, limits and trial lengths are on the tool's own website, and they change.
- Categories. Where the tool is filed. Click one to see similar tools.
- Tags. Short labels you can click to see every tool that shares one.
- A Visit button. Takes you to the tool's own website in a new tab.
- Featured tools. A section of promoted tools further down the page, labeled as such.
What the Visit button does
For some tools the link goes through a short redirect on our site (/go) before reaching the tool. This is normal, and it won't change where you end up. The tool opens in a new tab, so your place in the directory is kept.
What a listing does not tell you
- Whether the tool is good. We don't review every tool in depth, and a listing isn't a recommendation.
- Whether the pricing is current. Check the tool's site.
- How it treats your data. Read its privacy policy before uploading anything sensitive.

Something looks wrong?
If a description is inaccurate, the website is dead, or the pricing is clearly out of date, tell us with a link to the tool page. Reports like these are how the directory stays accurate.
