Capterra
G2’s older cousin for “best X software” queries. High intent, high effort, optional PPC. Not a launch party.
Capterra is how a lot of non-Twitter businesses still shortlist software. Category pages rank. Reviews — if you can get them — convert. You can also buy clicks. None of that is a Product Hunt day.

Long-running B2B software catalog. High domain authority, comparison-page SEO, paid upgrades. Same job as GetApp with a different index.
Crozdesk publishes category and vendor pages that still rank. Listing or claiming is the work; a launch-day thread is not. Scores and badges on the site are their model, not independent proof of quality.
