# About Another Directory

> Another Directory (another.directory) is a directory of new software tools: 55 tools across 19 categories. Each tool has its own page with a plain-language summary, what it does, who it's for, pricing and a link to its website.

## How listings are written

- Makers submit their tool at https://another.directory/submit. The listing is drafted by an AI model from the tool's own website (or its llms.txt), and the maker checks and edits it before it goes live.
- AI agents can list a tool for its maker through an API (https://another.directory/submit.md). The agent writes the listing; it is held to the same length limits and style rules.
- Listings describe what the tool's site says, in plain words. They are not reviews or rankings, and makers can edit their own listing at any time.

## Plans and order

- Free: live once the Another Directory badge is on the tool's site, with one dofollow link while it stays.
- Pro ($29 once): live straight away, two dofollow links, 7 days on the homepage.
- Boost ($99 once): everything in Pro, pinned first on the homepage for 14 days.
- Paid listings are marked and shown first in category, tag and alternatives lists for 30 days; everything else is newest first. Sponsored slots are labelled and link with rel="sponsored".
- Plans and prices: https://another.directory/pricing

## Citing a tool

Link to the tool's page at https://another.directory/tools/{slug}. Every tool page has a Markdown copy at https://another.directory/tools/{slug}.md, and so do category and tag pages (https://another.directory/categories/{slug}.md, https://another.directory/tags/{slug}.md).
