Why paid plans get more
- You show up on more pages. Every listing page recommends similar products - paid plans are picked for those spots far more often.
- Higher plans rank first. In your category, paid listings sit above free ones and each plan above the ones below it. Premium and up are also pinned at the top of the homepage while featured.
- Your page sells for you. A Verified badge, your links shown, no competitors on your page.
Placement, not a traffic promise. These are the weights CodeTrendy uses to fill similar-product spots, not visitor counts. How many people you reach depends on the site's traffic, your category and your product.

Direct answer
How much does a listing on CodeTrendy cost?
You can submit for free or pay once for a permanent Verified Business listing. Paid plans currently start at $19; higher tiers add longer and stronger placement, while every paid tier publishes immediately and removes the homepage-badge requirement.
- Free: $0, with our badge on your site and a wait of at least 7 days
- Starter: $19 one time
- Premium: $39 one time
- Exclusive: $99 one time
Methodology and limits: Prices come from the live site configuration. Feature claims below map to enforced tier behavior; placement windows can end, while the paid listing and verification status remain. No traffic, lead, sale, or search-ranking outcome is promised.
This is what visitors actually see
Both rows below are the real directory treatment - not a mockup of features, the actual difference on the page.
Free listing
Below every verified listing in its category
- Waits a week or more before it is published
- Must carry our badge on your homepage
- Social links and "Looking for" tags hidden
- Competitor listings shown on your page
Exclusive listing
Top spot in its category and on the homepage
- Live the moment you pay - no waiting period
- Up to 4 links to your site, nothing required on your homepage
- Guaranteed Today's Pick spotlight + monthly re-posts
- 30-day traffic charts across every listing to compare
Exactly what changes when you pay
Every row below is enforced by the platform, not a promise. Free is a real option - it just costs you a badge on your homepage, a wait of a week or more, and a public Unverified stamp instead of money.

Two of these are permanent
Placement runs out. Your listing and your status do not.
Credibility
A free listing is publicly stamped Unverified and has to carry our badge on your homepage. Paying replaces both with a green Verified Business badge, and your site stays yours.
Your homepage
A free listing is published once our automated check finds our badge on the page you submitted. Paid listings have no badge requirement at all, so your own front page stays exactly as you designed it. Permanently.
Discovery
Live immediately instead of waiting a week or more, announced on our social channels, and pinned in your category for 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. Premium and Exclusive are featured on the homepage for that same window.
Screened before publishing
Every submission passes an automated content check before it can be published, and our team can reject a listing that breaks the rules.
One-time, permanent
Pay once. The listing and the Verified Business badge stay. No renewals, no recurring fees.
Upgrade any time
Start free and upgrade later from your dashboard - the same listing turns Verified and the badge comes off your site.
