Directify alternatives: five directory builders compared

Directify alternatives at a glance

The five Directify alternatives worth pricing for a paid directory are Brilliant Directories and eDirectory as hosted products, and GeoDirectory, Business Directory Plugin and Directories Pro on WordPress. Directify itself is Free at $0, then Starter $12, Pro $39, Growth $69 and Agency $149 a month, billed monthly, as read on October 23, 2026.

Billed yearly, Directify's paid plans print as $10, $33, $57 and $124 a month, paid upfront.

Brilliant Directories Essentials is $40 a month, billed monthly, on its account pricing page. eDirectory Professional is $99 a month, billed monthly.

What Directify's plans limit

Directify counts listings and directories. Free holds 1 directory and 10 listings, Starter 50 listings, Pro unlimited listings, Growth 3 directories and Agency unlimited directories. Pro is the first plan that lists accepting payments, with payouts to your own Stripe, Lemon Squeezy or Creem account.

The Free plan stays on a Directify subdomain with its badge, and it does not include a custom domain. Every paid plan starts with a 7-day trial that asks for a card, and the card is charged when the trial ends.

Hosted alternatives with member plans

Brilliant Directories is the hosted alternative built around member plans. Its help center describes plans that are free or paid, and a paid plan can bill monthly, every three months, every six months or yearly. On the account pricing page, Essentials has a member capacity of 5,000 and 500 Instant Business listings. Instant Business Data is the vendor's tool that adds real business listings by category and place, one credit per listing.

Brilliant Directories says it takes $0 platform fees, and money from members goes straight into your own gateway account, so your payment processor's fees still apply. Directify asks for a card to start its trial. Brilliant Directories does not ask for one on its 7-day free trial, which starts from its trial page.

The yearly figure in the table may change, and a discounted yearly plan may fall outside the terms' seven-day money-back guarantee, which covers new, full-price subscription plans only.

eDirectory sets no limit on listings or members on any of its three options. Professional shows a Powered by eDirectory label, while Enterprise cloud at $199 a month, billed monthly, is unbranded. eDirectory has no free plan, and its demo comes through a request form. Its terms make a purchase non-refundable unless requested within 48 hours. Setup help from eDirectory is $497 or $796, one time.

WordPress alternatives and their licenses

GeoDirectory's core plugin is free, and its Pricing Manager add-on is $49 a year for one site. Business Directory Plugin Basic is $99 for the first year and renews at $149 a year. Directories Pro is sold on CodeCanyon: the $195 Extended License is the one its item page words for products end users are charged for, and the $39 Regular License is worded for products they are not charged for.

Every WordPress route needs hosting you buy elsewhere, and none of these pages prices it.

When Directify is still the pick

Directify is still the pick for a small directory that starts free: its Free plan has no time limit and holds 10 listings, and Directify charges only the subscription. Pick Brilliant Directories for member plans with payments, eDirectory for unlimited listings, and GeoDirectory for a yearly WordPress license you run yourself.
