This list covers every B2B directory where you either pay to be listed or can upgrade a free listing for more exposure. Some charge for the listing itself. Others let you create a basic profile for free and offer paid tiers for featured placement, analytics, or lead generation. Both types are here.
Paid options on directories are an opportunity. They let you stand out in competitive categories, access buyer intent data, and control how your product appears next to alternatives. The directories on this list attract millions of monthly visits from buyers actively comparing solutions.
These range from high-traffic review platforms like G2 and Capterra—where free listings exist but paid plans unlock premium placement—to specialized directories where a listing fee gets you in front of a targeted audience.
What Paid Gets You
Trust pilot gets 91M monthly visits. SourceForge gets 22M. There's an AI for that pulls 5.13M. Paid plans unlock featured placement in category pages, competitor comparison data, lead capture tools, and analytics on who views your profile.
Paid tiers also mean richer profile content—more screenshots, integrations, case studies—which gives AI systems additional data points to reference when recommending solutions.

Global review platform covering products and services across all industries - not limited to software. It has a less professional appeal than Capterra and G2, although many B2B SaaS companies leverage Trustpilot very effectively. It is not quite a company directory (no information about founders, funding etc) but not really a product one either, somehow it reflects how business is conducted, so under software products you will find a lot of reviews regarding customer support, billing and general business attitude of a company. And those review stars often appear directly in Google search results as rich snippets.
