How it works
What a listing means, and what "verified" actually checks.
1. Submitting a project
Any founder can submit a project for free: name, tagline, description, screenshots, category, stage, and a revenue figure. Submissions go live immediately, with no manual review queue gating what gets listed. What we do gate is the badge described below.
2. Revenue figures
When you submit, you self-report a revenue figure (MRR, ARR, or pre-revenue). This is shown as a plain revenue badge with no checkmark: it's the founder's own number, unverified.
3. The Revenue verified badge
A project earns the verified badge only when its founder connects a supported payment provider account (Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, Dodo Payments, Paddle, RevenueCat, Flutterwave, or Paystack). Once connected, the revenue figure is pulled directly from that account's live subscription data, so the founder can no longer hand-edit the number.
Concretely, "verified" means: the figure is synced from a connected payment provider, not typed in by the founder. It is not an audit of the underlying business, and it does not confirm profitability, legitimacy, or any claim beyond what that provider account reports.
4. What we don't check
We don't verify company registration, ownership, or identity beyond a working login. Unverified (manually-entered) revenue figures are exactly that: self-reported, shown without a badge, and should be read accordingly.
