There is a person at the other end of this. Submissions and corrections are read by a human being, which is slower than an automated directory and is the point.
Please read the headings below before writing — picking the right one is the difference between a reply this week and a message that sits in a queue.
A tool that should be listed
Do not email this one. Use the submission form. It asks for the things we need in order to check a tool — its own address, what it does, and who it is for — and collecting those in one go is the reason submissions get answered at all. Listing is free and cannot be bought.
A listing that is wrong
Wrong price, wrong category, a description that is unfair or out of date, a logo that is not yours, a tool that has shut down or been acquired. Please include:
- the address of the listing page on this site;
- what is wrong, in one line;
- where the correct information can be seen — normally a page on the tool’s own site.
Corrections that arrive with a source get fixed quickly. Corrections without one have to be researched from scratch, which is why they take longer.
Removing a listing
If you own a tool and want it taken off this site, say so and it comes off. You do not have to give a reason.
One thing worth knowing before you ask: where a product has simply shut down, our normal practice is to keep the page and flag it as gone rather than delete it, because a reader who followed an old link deserves to be told what happened instead of being handed a 404. If you would rather the page disappeared entirely, say so explicitly and it will.
Affiliate, partnership and advertising
We do not sell listings and we do not sell rank. Money can buy a position on this site only where that position is visibly marked as advertising; it can never buy a verdict, and a company that objects to what a description says does not get it softened. If you are still interested on those terms, write in.
Press and everything else
Questions about how the catalogue is built, how the checks work, or where the data comes from are welcome — much of it is already answered on the about page.
What we cannot help with
We are not the vendor of any tool listed here. We cannot reset your password, refund a subscription, fix a bug, or tell you why a product charged you. Only the company that sells the tool can do any of that, and its own site is linked from every listing page.
Where to write
Use the form below. It reaches the same mailbox for every kind of enquiry — corrections, delisting requests, affiliate and press — and the subject you choose decides how it is routed once it arrives.
There is no address printed on this page, and that is deliberate rather than evasive. This page is linked from the footer of more than ten thousand others, which is exactly the surface an address harvester walks. The form goes to a real person at a real mailbox; withholding the string keeps it out of the lists.
If you are suggesting a tool rather than reporting a problem, the submission form asks the right questions and saves a round trip.
When to expect a reply
Every message is read by a person, and the ones carrying an obligation — a listing that is wrong, or a request to remove one — are acted on first. We do not publish a guaranteed response time, because a directory run by a small team cannot honestly promise one and a promise that gets broken is worse than no promise.
Please do not send the same message twice by different routes. It does not make it arrive sooner and it makes both copies harder to track.
