How this directory works

Three rules, applied to every listing without exception. They are what “checked” means on this site, and they are the reason the directory is short.

01

Resources are chosen, not scraped

Each listing is added by hand after the resource has actually been used for real work. There is no bulk import and no script pulling in somebody else's catalogue — so the list stays short, and everything on it is here for a reason.

02

Key facts are checked and dated

Pricing, plan names, free-tier limits, and provider details are read off the provider's own pages, never off another directory. Every listing carries a verification status and the month its facts were confirmed, so you can see how fresh it is instead of guessing.

03

One clear way through

Each listing has a single Get Access button. Almost all point straight at the provider's own address with no tracking wrappers; the rare exception is a referral link, and where one is used it is labelled plainly on that listing. Either way, nothing here is ranked, chosen, or described more kindly because of money.

The full version — the five-step review, exactly what gets checked, what the four verification statuses mean, how often listings are re-checked, and why nothing here is a paid placement — is on the about page.

Browse the directory

Small on purpose. Every listing gives you the provider, what it costs, how much of it is free, the honest limits, and a link straight to the source — enough to decide in a minute whether something is worth your time, and nothing padded out to fill a page.
