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.
Payment received. The badge usually appears on the listed tool page shortly after confirmation (typically within a few minutes). If we still need the tool slug or URL, 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.
Payment received. We will set up the newsletter placement from this order; payment does not send an issue or mark the placement as published. Questions: [email protected].
API — Coming soon
Programmatic access to directory data is on the roadmap. No public pricing or keys yet. Interest: [email protected].

Featured — $49 / week
- 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).

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 Go-live is scheduled after email confirmation with [email protected] — we do not publish a fixed SLA.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.
Fulfillment path
- Pay via PayPal Payment Link below ($49 / week).
- Email [email protected] with tool URL (and HList slug if known) and preferred start date.
- We confirm details by email, then manually update
sponsored.json/ KV, regenerate agent exits (gen-llms), and deploy.
Pay with PayPal — Featured $49 / week
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).
- Placement: Priority queue — free submissions usually wait ~7 days; expedited is usually handled within 1 business day (not a fixed 24-hour guarantee).
- 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.
Pay with PayPal — Expedited $29
After paying, email [email protected] with your tool URL/slug.
What we don't sell
