What you get

How many people will see your product - and visit your website

People see your listing

They open your page on CodeTrendy and read about your product.

People visit your website

They click your link and land on your site - a visitor you can turn into a customer.

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.
You sit at the top while featured. Pinned above everything on the homepage and in your category, the spot everyone sees first.
More of the people who see you, visit you. A Verified badge, your links shown, no competitors on your page.

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 manual review
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.

Simple Pricing

Every listing says verified or unverified.

Every listing here is permanent. Paying changes what that listing says about you: a green Verified Business badge instead of a public Unverified stamp, live the moment you pay instead of a week or more later, and nothing to add to your own homepage. Featured placement sits on top of that.

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 manual-review 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.

Permanent

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.

Permanent

Your homepage

A free listing only stays live while our badge sits on your homepage - we check. Paid listings have no badge requirement at all, so your own front page stays exactly as you designed it. Permanently.

Time-boxed

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.

Reviewed, not auto-listed

Every submission is checked for relevance before it appears. That is what makes Verified mean something.

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.

What we do

A Verified Business badge on paid listings
Immediate publishing, with no badge required on your site
Category and homepage placement
30-day traffic charts for your listing and every other listing to compare
Full analytics and a monthly performance report
Human review before anything is published

What we do not do

Sell links or search rankings of any kind
Promise a specific amount of traffic, leads, or sales
Sell placement on any site other than this one
Accept every product submitted

CodeTrendy helps products get discovered. Paying buys placement, publishing speed, a dofollow link, and a Verified Business badge that says a human reviewed your product - never a search ranking. We do not promise traffic, leads, or sales.

Frequently Asked

Got questions? We've got answers.

Everything about listings, placements, and how the platform works - answered clearly.

1What is the Verified Business badge?+

Every paid listing shows a green "Verified Business" badge on its public profile. Free listings carry a public "Unverified" label instead. Both are visible to anyone who lands on your listing, including people you send there yourself, so it is part of the first impression a visitor forms about your product.

2What actually changes when I pay?+

Three things, immediately. Your listing is stamped Verified Business instead of Unverified. It publishes the moment you pay rather than waiting in the review queue. And you no longer have to display our badge on your homepage. On top of that your social links and "Looking for" tags become visible, you appear on the opportunities page, we announce you across our social channels, and you get category and homepage placement.

3What does a free listing include?+

A permanent public profile with a link to your site. In exchange you display our badge on your homepage, your listing is labelled Unverified, approval takes a week or more (every submission is reviewed by hand), and your social links and "Looking for" tags stay hidden. It is a genuine free option - it is just paid for in trade rather than in money.

4Do I have to add the badge for a free listing?+

For a free listing, yes - displaying our badge on your homepage is what keeps it free. Any paid plan removes that requirement entirely: no badge on your site, and your listing goes live immediately with no review queue.

5How long does review take?+

Free listings publish once we have verified our badge is live on your site, which takes a week or more - demand is high and we review every submission manually, one by one. Paid listings go live immediately - there is no waiting period, and no badge required, on any paid tier.

6Are listings permanent?+

Yes. Once approved, your listing stays live permanently, and on paid plans so does the Verified Business badge. Only the placement is time-boxed: the category pin and homepage pin run for the period included with your plan, and your profile stays live afterwards.

7Can I start free and upgrade later?+

Yes. You can upgrade an existing listing from your dashboard at any time. The same listing keeps its page and picks up the Verified Business badge, the placement included with the tier you choose, and you can take our badge off your homepage the moment it goes through.

8Can I update my listing after approval?+

Yes! You can edit your listing details, update screenshots, and modify your description at any time from your dashboard. Major URL changes may require re-review.
