Choose based on where your directory needs to live
Directify is a broad, modern directory builder with AI setup, maps, reviews, claims, Google Sheets sync, and many monetization options. Directoryz is the more focused and lower-priced choice when the directory should live inside an existing business website and be run by a content team or agency. Disclosure: Directoryz is our product. Directify details below come from its own feature and pricing pages, checked 3 November 2026.
The short answer
Directify is the stronger product if the directory is your business and you need its breadth today. Directoryz is the better fit if you want a focused directory on a site you already run, more listings for less money, or several directories on one plan.
- Pick Directify for map search, star reviews, listing claims, user accounts, Google Sheets or Google Maps import, ad banners, and paid membership access.
- Pick Directoryz for publishing at a path such as company.com/resources, 50 free listings, 1,000 listings and 10 directories from $9.99/month, and one-time paid listings through your own Stripe account.
- Either way, neither product takes a percentage of your listing payments.

The central difference
Directify is designed to create a complete hosted directory website. Directoryz can also host a directory, but its distinctive workflow is placing it at a scoped path such as company.com/resources while the rest of the website continues to use its existing origin.
- Choose Directify when you want a broad all-in-one directory business feature set.
- Choose Directoryz when domain continuity, team review, and a focused operational workspace are the priority.
Publishing and SEO ownership
Directoryz can connect a full domain, subdomain, or website path through Cloudflare OAuth or a generated Worker. Public listings are server rendered with canonical URLs, metadata, structured data, search, category navigation, and sitemaps.
- No iframe for website-path publishing
- Existing routes remain untouched
- Canonical pages stay on the customer hostname
Price and limits
On list prices, Directoryz costs less for the same number of listings. Directoryz Pro is $9.99/month for 10 directories with up to 1,000 listings each, including a custom domain or path, paid listings, and leads. On Directify (checked 3 November 2026), the first paid plan is Pro at $39/month for one directory with unlimited listings, a custom domain, and payments; three directories start at $69/month and unlimited directories at $149/month. Directify's higher plans include features Directoryz does not have, so compare the plan that covers what you need, not only the headline price.
Operations and monetization
Both products address paid listings and lead capture. Directoryz keeps the workflow deliberately narrow: define listing fields, receive free or paid submissions, review drafts, collect leads, inspect analytics, and charge through the directory owner's Stripe account without a Directoryz transaction percentage.
Where Directify is broader
Directify's features page documents an interactive map with geocoding, user reviews and star ratings, user accounts with listing claims and paid claims, Google Sheets and Google Maps import, ad banners, paid membership access, link health checks, multilingual directories, an API and MCP server, and PayPal, Lemon Squeezy, and Creem alongside Stripe. Those are meaningful advantages when they are core requirements today.
Switching from Directify to Directoryz
Export your listings from Directify as CSV, rename the columns to the Directoryz import headers (name, short_description, description, website_url, category, location, tags), and import the file. Add any extra columns as custom fields and fill them in the editor or through the API. Review categories and featured listings, connect your domain or path, then redirect old listing URLs to the new ones so search engines follow the move.
