Two weeks ago we published the first ten verified founders on directree. Every founder who verifies ownership and fast-tracks a listing gets written up in the next batch. Ten more have done that since.
Two of these founders paid before the series existed and never got their writeup. They are first in line here.
This batch has a nutrition coach from Greece, booking software for salons from Belgium, a policy manager for small firms that get audited, and three AI media studios. All three put many models behind one account and one credit balance, and none of them sells a single model.
We confirmed domain ownership for every tool, checked each listing against the live site, and wrote every word ourselves. Nothing below was written by the founders, and nothing was softened for them either.
The eleven
metrIQ
Healthcare | Greece
An AI nutrition and training coach called Sophia. She sets calorie and macro targets from the usual formula on day one, says plainly that they are an estimate, then measures them against your real intake and weight over the following weeks and replaces the estimate with a number that is yours. Ask why a figure is what it is and she shows the arithmetic. Logging is a sentence in your own words. Fourteen days free, no card.
Boeked
Scheduling and Booking | Belgium
Booking software for independent salons, clinics and coaches. Online bookings, client records, payments and marketing live in one mobile-first app, with no per-booking commission. Available in five languages, GDPR compliant, and they will import your client list from your old tool for free. Thirty-day trial without a card, then from 19 euros a month.
ReleasePad
Product Management | United States
Changelog software that reads your GitHub commits and drafts release notes for you, then publishes them where users actually look: a hosted changelog page and a 4.3 kilobyte widget inside your app. It copes with messy repos and inconsistent commit messages. An MCP server lets Claude or Cursor draft and publish for you. Free to start, from 35 dollars a month after that. The founder's own count is more than 150 teams using it.
Dayspring Software
Legal and Compliance
Policy management for small and mid-sized businesses that face audits: firms holding or pursuing ISO 9001 or 27001, law firms, accountancies and consultancies answering to regulators and insurers. It exists to answer the questions auditors ask. Is this policy current, who owns it, what changed between versions, did staff read and acknowledge it, and when was it last reviewed. Review cycles, acknowledgement evidence and reminders are built in, without the weight of compliance platforms designed for much larger teams. Free trial.

Anyvids
Video and Audio | Austin
An AI video and image platform aimed squarely at creators, marketers and e-commerce teams. Beyond the usual text-to-video and image generators across the current top models, it has a commerce studio for product videos, virtual try-on and product photography, and a marketing studio for ad generation and avatars. The site makes a point of clear billing, visible credit usage and refunds. Free credits on signup, paid plans from 15 dollars.
BudgetPixel AI
AI Image and Video Generation
Image, video and music generation behind one account and one set of credits: Flux, Midjourney, Qwen, Seedream, Kling, Veo, Wan and Seedance among others. What sets it apart is the studio around the models. Generations land on an infinite canvas where you can compose and edit, video goes onto a real timeline, and there is a community feed and chat. Three hundred free credits to start.
Magic Hour
AI Image and Video Generation | San Francisco
More than a hundred browser-based tools for AI video, image and audio: text-to-video, image-to-video, face swap, lip sync, talking photos, animation and editing. Core tools can be tried without signing up. Credits roll over between months and errors are refunded. Developers get an API and a hosted MCP server. Free plan, paid from 19 dollars a month. Magic Hour puts its own audience at 3.8 million creators.
TickClip
E-commerce
A decision layer that sits on the buyer's side of a purchase. Paste a product link and TickClip checks price history, phantom discounts, inflated list prices, review authenticity and seller reputation, then returns one of three verdicts: Tick, Clip (wait for better conditions) or Skip. The evidence stays attached to the verdict so you can inspect it. Sellers cannot buy placement or a score, and the service currently earns no affiliate commission on retailer links. There is an MCP server for using it from an AI assistant.
Peregrine OS
Business Intelligence | Philadelphia, PA
Nine B2B intelligence tools for agency new business, consulting BD and growth marketing teams, all running on one engine that reads filings, funding databases, job boards, press and leadership moves continuously and scores each signal for relevance and timing. Quickstrike returns a pre-call snapshot and outreach lines for a single contact. Kestrel builds full account briefings for pitches. Eagle tracks new CMO and VP Marketing appointments daily. In early access, from 39 dollars a month.
Alterable
Email Marketing Automation | Claymont, Delaware
Replaces the static images in an email campaign with images rendered the moment each recipient opens it, using their current time, device, location, local weather and language. Countdown timers that stay accurate on every open, product images that change with targeting rules, maps to the nearest store, scratch-and-win cards and one-click surveys inside the inbox. Setup is a single image tag pasted into Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot, Braze or anything that supports HTML images. REST API, Zapier, Make and an MCP server for developers. Free plan available.
Why we keep writing these
Launch platforms reward one good day. Review sites reward whoever buys the most placement. Between the two sits a growing number of useful tools with no coverage at all, because their founders are busy building instead of playing the visibility game.
This series is our answer to that. Every batch of founders who verify and fast-track their listing on directree gets a writeup like this one: real coverage, earned by proving you are real. Every tool above has a verified listing where you can read the full entry, including the parts a founder would not put in their own marketing: who the tool is not for, and where it falls short.
If you have a tool listed with us and have not claimed it yet, claiming is free and takes a few minutes at directree.io. Fast Lane and Plus listings go into the next batch.
