How to navigate directree
directree has a few distinct ways in, depending on whether you're browsing, buying, or launching.
Browsing
- Categories: every tool sorted into categories, each with its own page and filters.
- Search: the search bar (and the command palette) finds tools by name across the whole directory.
- Top: tools ranked by community upvotes. Votes are the only thing that moves this list. Paid plans never do.
- New: the latest additions, newest first. Every published listing lands here immediately.
- Just Launched: tools whose founders scheduled a launch day. Each day's launches go live at 09:00 (Stockholm time) and hold the spotlight until the next morning. See Instant vs Launch for how the two feeds differ.
Deciding between tools
- Compare: pick a category, select up to 4 tools, and see their listing data side-by-side. Then optionally run Find your best match, an honest, grounded AI suggestion based only on what the listings actually say.
- Alternatives pages: every tool has an
/alternatives/<tool>page listing other tools in its category, useful when you're searching "X alternative".
Community
- Community Survey: one question about twice a week, the community votes, and past surveys live in the archive as a permanent record.
- Contributors: how directree recognizes useful, trusted community members with badges and the Community Showcase.
Your account
The Account page opens one section at a time. Use the left sidebar on desktop or the Account section picker on mobile.
- Account: profile, security and email notifications.
- Plus & listings: Plus benefits and credits, listing appearance and health checks, backlinks, and agent access.
- Growth tools: GEO Monitor, the SEO Playbook and content packs, Featured Week, and rewards.
Your listed tools and their content editor remain in My tools.

- Pricing: the core is free forever; Plus adds optional launch and listing-maintenance tools, including agent API access.
