Why this works

The directory already drives discovery. Featured placements give your server a fair shot against ones that just happened to launch with more GitHub stars.

Apply for a slot

Slots are reviewed manually so the directory stays high-signal. Average response time is under 24 hours. We invoice via Polar or Stripe once approved — no payment until your placement is live.

By submitting you agree we can email you about your application. No marketing list, no resale.

FAQ

Does paying for placement compromise the organic directory?

No. Sponsored slots are visually labelled (`Sponsored` / `Featured` tag) and live alongside the organic ranking, not replacing it. The organic ranking algorithm continues to use stars, recency, install count, and category fit.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes — 7-day money-back on monthly tiers if you're unsatisfied. Verified is a one-time fee and is non-refundable once the review is delivered.

What if my server isn't listed yet?

Submit it at /submit first. Once it's in the directory you can apply for a slot. Or apply now and mention it in the notes — we'll handle both in one review.

Do you accept crypto / international payments?

Yes. Polar.sh covers cards globally. We can also invoice via Stripe, Razorpay (INR), or accept stablecoins (USDC on Polygon) for annual plans.

Why is there no self-checkout?

Manual review keeps the directory high-signal — we won't take money to feature a broken or low-quality server. Average application-to-live time is under 48 hours.
