Crozdesk
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.

Startup Stash is a long-lived resource directory founders actually search. Listing is selective. Category placement is the value. Not a hunt.
Startup Stash catalogs tools by job (analytics, CRM, launch, and so on). Founders browse it when they are buying tools, which is high intent and low volume per listing. Curation means you may wait or get declined.
