Pricing / Plans

Last updated: 2026-11-14. HList (hlist.cc) is operated by Huang Shaoqiang, an individual in mainland China. The public brand name is HList (also referred to as list). Contact: [email protected].

Plans

Primary offerings are digital products / subscriptions for tool operators: a Verified Badge and Newsletter Pro. You can pay for these plans on this page with Dodo Payments. After payment, a Verified Badge usually appears on the tool page shortly after confirmation (typically within a few minutes). Newsletter placement is scheduled from the order and is not sent automatically at payment time. Questions: [email protected]. We do not sell organic rankings, fake reviews, or user data.

Verified Badge

$29 / year

  • Get verified — a clear Verified mark on your HList tool page(s).
  • This is a paid HList listing verification mark, not an editorial quality rating or endorsement of the tool.
  • Annual subscription for a listed tool that already exists (or is approved) on HList.
  • Does not rewrite editorial descriptions or invent ratings.

Enter at least one. The tool must already be listed on HList.

The badge usually appears on the listed tool page shortly after confirmation. If the slug or URL is missing, we will email you. Questions: [email protected].

Newsletter Pro

$99 / quarter

  • Quarterly subscription for newsletter placement to verified subscribers.
  • Short copy + link in digest issues during the quarter; mirrored on the public weekly report page when applicable.
  • Schedule and copy confirmed by email; light editorial length/tone checks.

Optional — used as placement metadata. You can pay without filling these.

After payment we will set up the placement from this order. Payment does not automatically send the newsletter. Questions: [email protected].

API — Coming soon

Programmatic access to directory data is on the roadmap. No public pricing or keys yet. Interest: [email protected].

Advanced exposure (PayPal)

Optional directory display / priority review via existing PayPal Payment Links. These are not the primary plans above.

  • Duration: 7 days per purchase (extend by renewing).
  • Where it appears: (1) homepage Featured carousel slot; (2) pinned near the top of the tool's category pages in all 4 languages (EN / 简体中文 / 日本語 / 한국어).
  • Delivery: Clear Featured badge; outbound link uses rel="sponsored nofollow". Listing must already exist (or be approved) on HList. Go-live is scheduled after email confirmation with [email protected] — we do not publish a fixed SLA.

Placement preview (illustrative)

Position illustration only. The cards below are the site's current homepage Selection posters (editorial, not paid ads). A paid Featured card uses the same carousel / category-top slot chrome and is labeled Featured. No fabricated sponsor cards.

After paying, email [email protected] so we can place the slot after confirmation.

Expedited Review — $29 (one-time)

  • Duration: One review cycle (not a recurring placement).

  • Delivery standard: Structured review, 4-language pages when published, screenshot capture, and sitemap inclusion. Acceptance still follows editorial rules; payment does not guarantee a positive review or invent ratings.
