How this directory works
We filter, we do not rank for pay
Sites can be filtered by medium (voice, image, video, memory), orientation, price band and platform. Ordering never depends on who pays us: sponsored placements are the only paid slots, they are labelled, and they sit outside the ranked list.
Every entry shows its age
Companion pricing changes constantly and most review sites never revisit their numbers. Each card carries the date we last opened the site and checked the price, so you can see how much to trust it.
Where we are honest about the data. 243 catalogue entries were compiled from public pricing pages and product documentation, and are queued for hands-on verification. Entries we have personally checked say so on the card; anything else is labelled “Pricing unverified”. Verify the price on the site before you pay.
Content policy. This directory is SFW by default. 89 adult-oriented platforms are catalogued alongside the rest, but they stay out of the homepage, the editor’s picks and every default listing — they only appear once you switch the Content filter to “Include 18+ sites”. We are a directory: we host no conversations and describe no explicit material.
