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.

Smaller than TAAFT, more editorial. Newsletter is the upside. Still a directory, still not a hunt.
Futurepedia lists AI tools with a tighter editorial filter than the giant catalogs and pushes many of them through an email list. Getting in is a listing plus a chance at subscribers who actually asked for AI tools.
